renaming shortcodegens subdir caused perminent theme damage?

  • I know WordPress doesn’t natively have a cache. However, I’m at my whit’s end trying to fix this problem.

    Within WordPress, I misnamed a folder accidentally.

    /themes/trine/functions/shortcodegens/thumbnails/

    This caused the WordPress theme to error. I fixed the folder name. Nothing else changed — no files, no content, nothing. Only the folder name.

    The theme has reappeared, but now there’s splotch of incorrect characters that appears everywhere (even the Dashboard!)

    When I switch themes, this error doesn’t appear. I’ve tried other browsers (even my mobile) and this appears everywhere, so it’s not a local system cache issue.

    I tried using Firebug to track down what would be causing this, but I’m completely stumped. I’m tempted to delete the whole theme and re-upload it, but that’s no guarantee this problem will go away (and I’d have to potentially re-add all my unique changes and content links specific to the theme?).

    Does anyone have any idea what would cause this problem to occur?
