HALLELUJAH! Things went fast once I found the right link on the host site. I was going through the button ‘FTP’ and that was leading me down the dificult path I was on. On a whim I clicked the ‘File Manager’ Button next to the FTP button. THAT was where i should have gone 5-6 hrs ago. Found the file, made the change, it’s all up and running again.

THANKS to everyone that contributed to helping the slow kid here fix his little website!

OH SNAP!! May have found the ‘right’ way to access this file via the host site! -update to fallow for those interested lol-

Well, I drug the file right off the browser, took the file to Wordpad, altered code, saved file.

Still had no way of returning file back to browser page, so I downloaded the FileZilla program… it doesn’t want to log into my server for some reason. Is my ‘Server Address’ the same as the ‘website IP’?

oooOOOOOooooo… i can drag that little guy off the browser. now i am a good step closer to fixing this.

our host is IPower. I should have full admin access. I clicked on a button labeled FTP. It then led me to a page that said “To access your account using an FTP client, you need to connect to https://ftp.mywebsite.com (my website name appearing in place of ‘mywebsite’) with your FTP username and password.

Did so and it opened a new tab with “Index of /” at the top with some folders listed below. I clicked my way through the folders to find the one from Dcaswell’s tutorial and clicked on the wppa-common-functions.php button. New tab opened and code a plenty appears. But it’s just to view the code. there is no editing it there.

Does that help explain my scenario any better?

Others were talking about downloading and uploading… I don’t know what to do differently.

(feeling like the slow kid over here as everyone else shows up and has this fixed in no time with no problems lol)

Copy and paste or delete a line, either should work. the problem is that the code as i am viewing it is not editable.

It’s no more editable than me just viewing words on someone else’s website. it’s selectable, but I don’t know how to edit this information. perhaps i am not viewing it in the right way/place.

Dcaswell, I am so excited to be so close to actually fixing this issue thanks to your tutorial. BUT here’s my hang up:

I was able to log into my FTP via my web host, and thanks to your tutorial I was guided to the problem area of the code. I thought i was just a copy/paste away from the final fix… but i am just ‘looking’ at code where i am. I don’t know what to do to actually edit said code… ??

Ok, I see people talking about fixing the code. I haven’t done any code editing with WordPress at all (in fact that’s the whole appeal of it). So with this problem I am unable to look at the /wp-admin of my page to even ‘think’ about editing code. Can someone step by step me on what i need to do to get my website back in running order? Please ??
