Thanks again; I’ve checked with the host – no problems there.

If I enable debug how will we know if there are any errors if we can’t view the backend?

But I have – in the themes folder are:
TOTAL.HOLD
twentyfourteen
twentythirteen
twentytwelve
index.php

Sorry, my mistake, I didn’t realise that you wanted to view!
I’ve changed the settings back now as you requested.

Hi again and thanks

I renamed the plugin folder and that made no difference, other than obviously disabling the slider etc. I still could not log in.

I then renamed the active theme’s folder as suggested, and couldn’t get anything (site, backend etc) at all.

I really appreciate your assistance on this.

For info, when I log on to the site, I can now see the top line of the WP site with ‘Howdy Username’ top RH corner, but if I click on say Dashboard, the page goes blank.

The site is https://www.thefoothealthplace.co.uk and it is hosted at https://www.easy-internet.co.uk.

Since this reply things went from bad to worse, culminating with my host company reinstalling all files from their backup.

The upshot of this was that the website will now load but I am unable to access the back end of the site at all – entering the username and password produces a completely clear page even though the heading tab is labelled Dashboard. The hosting company could only suggest that I seek help from WordPress support.

I am able to access the File Manager via cPanel.

I would again welcome any suggestions that can get me back ‘operational’.

Thanks alchymyth, that’s just what I was looking for.

Thanks esmi, I’m getting there!

Thanks Andrew, I’ve managed it now.

Thanks demonboy – I’ve mailed the author and will see if that brings any joy.

Thanks for the response demonboy, however, I’m not really conversant with html & CSS, and having looked at your suggestions I’m baffled!

Is this the only way to achieve what I want to do?
