  I made a change in the function.php file, and now my blog is just a blank, white page. Since it is just a blank page, I can’t re-access the function.php file so I can undo the change. Is there another way to access that file or undo the change without going through my blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  // Adds Image of size 140×140 to Excerpt posts

  add_image_size(‘excerpt-thumbnail’, 140, 140, true);

  // Remove […] from Excerpt and add Read More Link

  function change_excerpt_more()
  {
  function new_excerpt_more($more)
  {
  // Use .read-more to style the link
  return ‘…<span class=”continue-reading”> ‘.’Read More »’ . ‘</span>’;
  }
  add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘new_excerpt_more’);
  }
  add_action(‘after_setup_theme’, ‘change_excerpt_more’);
