I added a small string of code in my woocommerce plugin to hide the cart function. Worked BETTER than expected. I hid my whole site. Can't even see the Wp dashboard... Is ther
Hi RickGale.
I've had this sort of thing happen dozens of times over the years. Sounds like you may have a PHP error going on. Couple of questions:
[1] What code did you paste in?
[2] Where did you paste it?
Depending on what's going on, you may have to manually edit a file somewhere. The trick is going to be figuring out which file.
Hi VPD, What I pasted was-
.fa-shopping-cart {
display: none;
}
Exactly WHERE in the woo commerce plugin I pasted it, well, that I don't exactly remember other than it was about 1/4 to 1/3 down to page.
I don't know if this will help, but when I log into the site, and hit the reload btn, I get the following msg:
CONFIRM SUBMISSION
The page that you're looking for used information that you entered.Returning to that page might cause any action that you took to be repeated. Do you want to continue.
I have gone both routes and get the exact same thing. The page is just one giant white screen. Going through the url like a customer results in the same thing.
I honestly don't know if it's repairable, or if I'm going to have to burn the site, and reload it manually (ugghhhh....)
Thank you everyone who takes the time to look into this, I truly appreciate the help!!!
Hi Rick! I'm glad that ThisChick's advice worked out for you. Also glad that WA's support team rectified your problem.
I *think* what happened is that you pasted that code into a PHP file -- not a CSS file. Such mishaps are not uncommon, and they cause PHP to glitch out -- which explains why your entire Dashboard was inaccessible.
Anyway, I'm really glad you got it worked out.
Thank you VPD. They told me the code I entered was neither PHP< or CSS. Not real sure what I pasted. So, in order to keep this from happening to my website again, I have created a test site, and will be applying everything to it first. If something passes the luitmus test there, THEN, and only THEN, will I make the change on my true site. I just want to thank you again for your help. This community is absolutely amazing, as are all the people I've encountered. I wish you all the best, and hope for your phenomenal success.

How do I find my site after entering bad code?

If you are not too far into modifying your site, a quick and easy trick is to turn off the woocommerce plugin.Then you can check that your site is back to working properly. If it is, then you can delete the woocommerce plugin and then load it back into your wordpress blog.
If you've gotten in too deep with the plugin though, you might not want to have to redo your work.
Just a suggestion,
Lori
My problem is that when I login to admin, I get a blank page. I can't even see my WP dashboard
Then you have 2 option:
If your site is hosted here at WA put in a support ticket asking them to delete the woocommerce plugin from your site.
Second option is if you host your site somewhere else you can use ftp to get into your site and delete the woocommerce plugin from your plugin folder.
Cool. Thank you for that. Will do! I'll post back on this when everything is fixed along with what I did (which is gonna be what you suggested!)
Hey there, Thischick. Thanks SOO much for the advice! I put in a support ticket, and they had me back up and running within 3 hours. Your help was priceless!

Wait. WA doesn't allow FTP access? Ouch. Excuse my ignorance. Still a n00b. But something as simple as FTP... I just assumed it was included.
It's not that WA doesn't allow FTP. You can host your own site and FTP as much as you like. It's not included here at WA in the free hosting. I would think that if the majority of new users here don't have experience with FTP they could potentially break their sites fooling around in the back end. For newbies that is probably a good thing. For advanced users not so much but hosting your own sites solves that. Also I'm sure it takes a huge burden off of support having to fix accidentally broken sites all day long.
Pretty much the only one who does that around here is Rick :)
Just kidding Rick, I couldn't resist :)
Can't.....see....thru.....the....tears! LOL! No, you nailed it in one. I have absolutely NO IDEA what I'm doing (hence the reason for this site). I don't even know what FTP means (gonna find out after dinner, tho). I was under the impression that my friend knew what he was doing. And, perhaps he does. I know from other experiences that it's truly difficult to help people when you can't see or touch what it is you're helping them with. He probably assumed I knew the basics, when I didn't even know the right way to ask the question.

I'm trying to decide if I should go with my actual name, or a nom de plume on my site.. Thoughts?
I like RickGale. Strong name right to the point and covers a variety of niches. Good luck. "Time is not short only life is"
