  Hi,

  I have uploaded a new theme to a wordpress.com hosted site. After activation, I’m now seeing a fatal error on both the site and when trying to access wp-admin, due to it using newer syntax than the PHP version that wordpress.com uses.

  Anyway, I’d like to now disable the theme but I’m unable to do anything due to the fatal error preventing me from accessing wp admin. I’ve Googled but only finding people talking about self hosted WordPress where you’d use FTP to remove the theme, but obviously that’s not possible with a wordpress.com hosted site due to the lack of FTP.

  What can I do to regain access to wp admin? This is urgent as the site is also down. Thanks in advance for answers.

  Please note: Ignore the blog URL that I selected, it’s not that URL at all but had to select a URL in order to post.

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

  The blog I need help with IS NOT callmevictor.com, I just couldn’t post without selecting something. The blog I actually need help with isn’t on this account.
