I see this problem time and time again. Someone is editing / messing with the PHP code of a Wordpress theme, they press save, and bang, site gone. Usually, after this the website now shows a blank page. And to the many thousands of people who experience this problem who don't have much knowledge on how to quickly fix this issue, it can be very stressful. Websites broke and there's no way back. Well, the good news is there's an easy way back.
PHP is a strict taskmaster. One little mistake and it can be curtains. For a while. Just like with the Line 56 Error and many other irritating problems that can arise, in many cases the same fix will restore your site back to it's former glory. All you have to do is:
1. Log in to your Cpanel.
2. Go to your file manager
3. Click "public_html"
4. Double click the website folder with the problem
5. Double click the "wp-content" folder
6. Double click themes
7. Find the theme that has the problem
8. Right click the problem theme and choose "Rename"
9. Rename the theme folder by adding a few numbers to the end of the file / folder name
Click save or Rename file. And that's it. If you go and load your website it should now be up and running again. However, it will now be using another theme. A default theme. Because you changed the name of your main folders problem theme this automatically forces Wordpress to use another (default) one because now, the files needed to load the theme can't be found. If you want to use the same theme you were using before (which still has the error) you will need to delete it and re-upload the original template that is free of errors. You can then use the same template you were previously using. Just be more careful in the future! Hope this helped you out. Until the next time amigo.
Easy Fix: Missing Right Click WordPad
WordPad is the number one program I use on a daily basis. That may sound crazy to some, I know. However, I don't need Microsoft word, Open Office or anything else. I just need the simplistic features and non energy sapping blank white canvas that WordPad provides to do my writing and editing. It would be nice if it had a word counter, but hey, you can't have everything.
The problem of, all of a sudden having no options when right clicking in WordPad seems to be a common one. Like, nothing happens what so ever, but right clicking anywhere out of WordPad and everything is fine. Some people recommend just deleting the WordPad.INI file from the Windows folder. That will work fine. But some users are paranoid of deleting anything that's located in the C: drive of the computer in fear of removing something important, and then the computer not working anymore. And that's understandable.
So an easier, or less panicky method is to save and then close all your open WordPad files. Then go and download the free version of CCleaner. This is an excellent program. After that, simply run a clean and, just to be newbie safe, make sure the above cleaning options are selected as the pictures shows. Run the clean. Re-open your WordPad documents and give them a right click. All should be fixed. Hope this helped you out. Back to work for me. Until the next time.
JetPack Plug-In Stats Not Showing Fix
A little annoying, but in my experience with this problem, an easy fix. I've read about a few people experiencing this problem disabling the plug-in, uninstalling, and then re-installing it and all has been well. I didn't do that as I was convinced that wasn't going to solve the problem in my case. And was I right, it wasn't needed. There are most probably several causes and numerous fixes to this error. Some of the causes may be because the server were the stats are pulled from may be down. Or there could be a conflict with another plug-in. Some people have taken their sites apart trying to find out the cause of this issue!
Here is the error. You try to fetch your stats, it looks like everything is about to load but then throws up the following error message:
How to fix it? The cause of this problem for me was when Jetpack (Or Wordpress- where the stats are coming from) updated their SSL Certificate. If an SSL Certificate gets updated and your Date and Time are not correct (behind the time of the update) it will throw up all types of errors. "Connection not secure", Untrusted website, and even, We were unable to get your stats just now..
My CMOS battery has died, so my time was about one hour behind. I usually set it to what I think the time is - which is usually close enough - each day. Upon receiving this error, applying the solution, and then refreshing the stats page, I'm back in business and everything is working well. Be sure to check your date and time if you are getting this error message in Jetpack Stats.
