  I have recently loaded HTML code into my site and it crashed the site.

  I now cannot access my dashboard to change this. Has anyone had this happen before?

  Is there a way to fix?

  Thanks,
  Graeme

  Hi Graeme,

  Is fitnessfoodandtravel.com the site you’re referring to?

  If so, that site is hosted outside of WordPress.com and running on the free software available here at WordPress.org.

  The difference between the two types of WordPress (WordPress.com and WordPress.org) is an understandable and common point of confusion. If you’re unsure of the differences, then this guide gives a good overview.

  I’m happy to be able to load fitnessfoodandtravel.com correctly. Were you able to resolve your issue?

  As your site is hosted elsewhere, staff here at WordPress.com aren’t in the best position to help with further questions. Instead, I recommend the WordPress.org support forum, your host’s support team, or the author of your theme as good places to go for help.

  Any changes to your theme’s code should also always be made via a child theme in order to enable you to easily revert any errors.

  Hope that helps to point you in the right direction!
