  Hi, I was having trouble uploading a theme to wordpress so i looked online and took steps to making it work. One of the steps required me to edit the .htaccess file in my root directory. So, I did. Then, after the entire wordpress broke down, I reverted the changes. Unfortunately, my themes page didn’t get the update and continues to display this…

  

  I have since fixed the theme problem, but I cannot access the theme sections to verify. Any ideas?

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

  re: http://ogcabe.wordpress.com/
  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.

  We provide support only for blogs being hosted WordPress.COM and not for WordPress.ORG software installs. I suspect you are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
