I tried to customise the style.css file in the 'sample' theme folder but
somehow managed to 'break' the sample theme.

Eatock is working fine, but when I switch to 'Sample' I get the following message when trying to load my site:

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /home/cargostu/public_html/ndxz-studio/site/sample/index.php in /home/cargostu/public_html/index.php on line 81

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/cargostu/public_html/index.php on line 81

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/cargostu/public_html/index.php on line 82

I tried dragging in the 'Sample' folder from the default master file to fix it, but it didn't change this.

Sorry to bother you again, but I'm stumped. I though editing the .css was the way to customise your site?

Oh, and my URL is: www.cargostudio.com

Thanks!

Really stumped on this - I've tried re-uploading files a number of times to the Sample folder and nothing is working.

I'm sure the fix is something quite easy - I'd prefer not to have to start again.

Try the 'site reset script'...just search the forum for it.

Thanks Vaska - will this reset my whole site, or just the Sample theme?

(thought it best to aak before doing it. Thanks again)

The real problem you are having is that you probably deleeted a section that wiped out your home page - that's why there is a warning when you delete sections. The site reset script will fix this part of things. Maybe, you don't need to reupload anything...

Ok, I followed the instructions - I dragged the site-reset.php file directly into my 'ndxz-studio' folder and then navigated to the following URL:

http://www.cargostudio.com/ndxz-studio/site-reset.php

The message I recieved was:

"Everything looked just fine - nothing was changed."

...but when I put my site into Sample mode, it still has the same problem. I then deleted the site-reset.php file, as per your instruction, and the problem is still there.

I'm a bit lost - I think I did it right?

Could be many things...it's hard to say. If I was you I would just scrap it all and start over.

Ok, thanks for helping anyway - at least I wasn't TOO far into my website.

Note to self - DO NOT DELETE MAIN PAGE!!!!

Don't delete sections that have the main page in them. Which is why there is a warning note when people are deleting sections.

Yeah, I saw that - but from memory it just says 'Are you sure you want to delete a section?"

Maybe it could be more explicit:

"Are you sure you want to delete this section? Doing so may cause your site to not function "

It seems a few other people have done this, so maybe the message has to be a stronger warning? Just a suggestion.
