WTF?


I tried to edit a footer and as I clicked "Update" the text appeared: "This theme is released under creative commons licence, all links in the footer should remain intact". Ok, fair enough, i copied back deleted text, now clicking update, same message, can't save. the porblem - as i vew the site from user stand point, now I see the same message. the theme can't be found in WP content folder.

Moreover, I can't even access my WP to reinstall the theme, or install a new one.
The screen with this message appears no matter what I do.

Can anybody help please?

Connect via FTP ( filezilla for exemple ), delete theme, and put it again . 1 minute job.

Yes, I did install a theme again.

I couldn't find the theme to delete it - bizzare.
But i uploaded a theme in theme folder, then extracted files from Zip.
Anything else I needed to do?

No changes so far.

You should find the theme here :

/public_html/wp-content/themes

Can you post a link to DL the theme? I'd be interested to take a look at the code. Maybe I'll find a solution for you.
