Restoring a crashed website

Usually, your site crashes when you mistakenly install a broken plugin or Theme. The first step after you notice you could no longer access your site after installing a theme from the internet, is to log in to your FTP account -> look for your wp content –>

crash 1

Click on it until you get to your themes -> quickly identify the crashy theme and right-click on it to rename it.

crash 2

As soon as you rename it, WordPress gets confused and resolves back to the default theme since it could no longer access the broken theme.

crash 3

You may then go back and refresh your site.

IT’S BACK!

crash 4

Finally, go back into your FTP account and delete the theme completely.
