  • FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides) and delete the wp-content/themes/pilcrow folder.

    Are you absolutely sure you are running WordPress 3.1.2?

    thank you so much! no i am not sure of what wp i’m using…. i cannot look at the site!

    i got into the cpanel. looking for the content folder. do you know here it’s located.

    you are wonderful, thank you!

    The wp-content folder is in your public_html (root) folder.

    yes, it seems i’ve lost all my formatting and it went into the generic template… any thoughts on how to get my format back?

    The Twenty Ten theme should activate automatically but you’re now free to choose another theme, yes.
