Reinstall the themes from a fresh copy

  • Hello Team,

    We are having issues with our news page because it’s not loading properly, and GoDaddy thinks this is due to an error with the theme. We’ve already updated all plugins and themes but the page still looks the same.

    I have included the link below which includes the warnings and error on the page. https://pastebin.sucuri.net/v20zbc1gjdpn

    GoDaddy recommends to reach out to the developer for further investigation, or reinstall the theme from a fresh copy.

    Before we contact the developer, we wanted to exhaust all options first to resolve this concern.

    Can you someone help us to reinstall the theme from a fresh copy?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    The error is from the theme, so the theme is the problem.

    I recommend making a backup first https://developer.www.ads-software.com/advanced-administration/security/backup/ then access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the /yellow-mountain/ directory to /yellow-mountain-broken/

    Next, upload a fresh copy of the /yellow-mountain/ theme’s files to /wp-content/themes/.

    If that doesn’t work, since that is a custom theme, you’ll need to contact the theme’s developer.

    Hi James,

    I’ve already created a backup of our database and file. And I’m able to access our server via SFTP or FTP.

    Before I do any changes, I have a question, where do we get a fresh copy of the themes? Is it something we can download from the server first?

    You would need to have kept your own backup of the original theme, or get the theme again from the developer.

    Hi James,

    The error on the news page occurred on 7/10/2024, and we were able to make backups prior to that happening. Is it possible that the original theme, without the error, is usable?

    Below are the steps that I made on a staging site to see if it solves the problem:
    1. Downloaded the backup for /yellow-mountain/ theme’s file.
    2. Accessed the server via Filezilla and renamed the /yellow-mountain/ directory to /yellow-mountain-broken/ and uploaded the /yellow-mountain/ theme’s file to /wp-content/themes/.
    3. After that, I activated the theme on WordPress.
    4. Checked the site but still has the same error.

    Any ideas what I did wrong?

    No, that’s what I would have done too, so now it’s time to contact the theme’s developer.
