I'm so glad that there are so many answers available on the Wealthy Affiliate Community. I was playing with the Functions.php theme file and before you know it, the site is down and I thought OhNo! I haven't backed up anything for over two months! My blood pressure went up and my heart rate quickened. I thought my site was surely doomed!

Luckily, I found that I'm not the only person who encountered this problem and the community responded and suggested using FTP. I haven't used FTP for awhile so, I went through some instructions on that to use Filezilla. Once there, I went to another web-site I had with the original theme function file and transferred to my local drive and then transferred back to the site that I just corrupted. All is fine now. It's great to find all the answers here at my fingertips.

Glad to know all is fine. And now YOU know what to do and may one day be able to help someone else with this problem.

Thanks. This is a great tutorial, although I was looking for anything that said HTTP500 first and didn't think of something as dramatic as the "White Screen of Death", so I didn't find your tutorial at first.

Yes thanks, and it is a GREAT place.
