I downloaded sage from the github. I pressed code then download ZIP. Then I went straight to my wordpress and uploaded that zip as a theme. I am guessing I wasn’t supposed to do that because now I can’t load my website or my wordpress. I get this error message:
Error locating autoloader. Please run composer install .
I don’t understand coding too much. I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. I have tried researching it but I don’t understand any of the solutions so I came here. I was simply trying to find a simple base theme to create a personal theme from scratch on wordpress.
If anyone can explain, over-explain like I’m 5 years old, how to reverse this issue and uninstall sage.
Hi, @help12442. Welcome the forum and to the Roots ecosystem.
Sage is a starter theme, which means it doesn’t do much of anything “out of the box”. To create a Sage-based theme from the Sage starter, you’ll need to set up a development environment on your computer (see our “getting started” documentation here).
This isn’t to discourage you from trying it, just a word of warning that working with Sage isn’t really like working with other WordPress themes. It’s more powerful, and it’s cleaner, and (in our opinion) better, but it’s a different learning curve.
Good luck! Once you’ve read the docs let us know if we can help any further!
I don’t really want to get started with it I just want to uninstall the theme from my wordpress but I can’t get into my Wordpress which is why I am confused. Is there a simple way to just reverse the uninstall for now? Or do I have to install all those programs first?
I am just looking for the simplest, most straight forward path to get access to my wordpress and uninstall sage.
The problem was that I couldn’t access my wordpress site or manager at all and was only getting that error. So I couldn’t navigate to the themes page to delete sage. I ended up just removing wordpress from my host completely and reinstalling it to the domain. Which fixed it. Thanks anyways!
