  Hi all,
  Today, I’ll try to add a ‘text widget’. The content on it is just:
  <?php sideblog(’permalinks=true&limit=5′); ?>
  and the happen is: my blog broken.

  Please visit to my blog: tetes-embun_dot_org

  and you will get error code that say something about abnormal widget…
  I think, I will remove this text-widget, but when I tried to log-in, it couldn’t go to dashboard. All WP is broken. I can not do anything……. hiks!!!

  Anyone can help??

  Addition to my question above:

  On my panic, I then delete my theme folder name via FTP.
  How to switch back to default theme?? Maybe this will help.. (CMIIW)

  I have WP 2.5. If I go replace with 2.5.1, is that helpful ??

  Matt, can you help me…. hiks!

  Unfortunately, nobody here can help because you’re in the wrong forum. You need to be at wordpress.org/support. They should be able to give you good advice.

  Thanks Ellaella..

  CASE CLOSED. I’ve successful recovered it.

  All I have to do is here:
  1. Login to cPanel
  2. Browse to table ‘wp_options’ in current database via PHPMySQL
  3. goto record where option_name is ‘widget_text’
  4. edit it (press pencil icon)
  5. Erase all text in option_value (it’s a biggest text area)
  6. done.

  Pfffew !!! Thanks to Jesus.
