I tried changing "Home" to something else and "Crashed" my page.

    I used these instructions below to change “Menu” to a new name. When I hit “update” everything went away. I did not do a back up. Is there anything I can do? I don’t remember what version, but I did just do an update. My website goes now where now: packteam4.org

    function twentyten_page_menu_args( $args ) {
    $args[‘show_home’] = true;
    return $args;
    }
    and change where it says true to what to whatever you want it to say e.g.:
    function twentyten_page_menu_args( $args ) {
    $args[‘show_home’] = ‘Start’;
    return $args;
    }

  • try and use FTP https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FTP_Clients to rename the folder of your theme (are you using Twenty Ten?) to something else; this should activate the latest default theme (depending on your WordPress version) and allow you back into the dashboard.

    or alternatively, try and use FTP to replace functions.php of your theme with an unedited fresh version.

    I went to HostGator… and I am getting this message: “Error connecting to your cPanel account”

    I am no longer able to log in under my old account in WP. When you say: “alternatively, try and use FTP to replace functions.php of your theme with an unedited fresh version” do you mean set up a new account in WP?

    no new account, just using cpanel or FTP to edit the file.

    however, if you have problems with using cpanel, you might need to contact your hosting provider for support.

    The file is not located through the FTP files, I will try the Cpanel. I don’t know where to fine the “rename the folder” or “Theme” for the twenty ten page, do you know where it is? Did you try packteam4.org? It’s gone ?? are you sure it is still there?

    I can’t log on to the cpanel because it doesn’t recognize my word press username and password.

    Cpanel is part of your hosting – it doesn’t use the same login info. Ask your hosting for help with that.

    I’m in!!! I don’t know where to fine the “rename the folder” or “Theme” for the twenty ten page, do you know where it is?

    Did you try packteam4.org? It’s gone ?? are you sure it is still there?

    Find your wp-content folder then find this:

    wp-content
   themes
       twentyten - RENAME THIS
