I'm using wordpress blog and under the appearance tab I clicked on Editor and then selected Header (header.php) on the right side tool bar and then I deleted the code inside the box and now my blog site is messed up. I didn't save a copy of the code so how do I fix this issue? Thanks.

re-write it?

You might find the HTML (ONLY the HTML) in a search engine cache.

Google your page,
Then click Cached ( or cached copy )

Or maybe even look in the wayback machine.

However as chris said, It will only be the HTML so if the php did anything dynamic, That would be lost.

O.k I google my page and clicked on cached but then what? Thanks.

Any other way to fix this? I tried loading other templates but no luck. Without the code I'm screwed.

Get the HTML from viewing the source.

I'm not realy sure what your talking about. Please provide more details. Thanks.

Right click on the cached page, select "View Source" from the menu
or
Use "View -> Source from the browser menu.
or
CTRL+U (Firefox on Windows)

None basically.

What did the code do?

Was it a standard header or had there been some modifications?

**goandcheck** · 03-16-2010, 10:42 AM

header.php is the code of the theme, so just upload header.php from your wordpress theme source code

Thanks for your help but I'm having probelm with uploading the header.php I'm not sure how or where to perform this task. I have been clicking on everything and not getting anywhere.

It appears this header.php affects every theme I load. So I need this code to restore my blog.
