    Hello,
    I’m hoping somebody can help me here. I started work on my website and after trying a few themes I found twenty sixteen to the one I wanted to use. Now I can’t access my site at all. At first I got a 500 Internal error message.
    I have contacted my hosting company and they have advised the following:

    I have enabled WordPress debugging in your wp-config.php
    Looking at the error on-screen the problem appears to be with your Twentysixteen theme rather than a server issue:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /var/www/web/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen/inc/template-tags.php on line 251

    I am new to wordpress and site building and have absolutely no idea how to fix this ??
    If somebody could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.

    Thank you

    Sharon

    Hello again,
    It’s ok I managed to work out how to delete the theme from my c panel so I am able to log in now :))

    I thought I had resolved this but it seems I haven’t ??
    I uploaded a new theme and started to customise my site. All seemed to be ok until I opened a new browser to check how it looked. My site is exactly as it was when Twenty Sixteen was installed. If I try to navigate it leaves me with a white screen.
    All looks good in my wordpress dashboard and it navigates as it should grrr! This is extremely frustrating lol
    Any ideas?

    Ok I googled this and found it is called a white screen of death aha
    I deactivated all plugins and voila! my website showed my changes.
    Then I activated all plugins one at a time and they all appear to work but I get the following message at the top of my wordpress:

    Notice: get_currentuserinfo is deprecated since version 4.5! Use wp_get_current_user() instead. in /var/www/web/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3658

    I have no idea what this means or how to fix it.

    I updated yoast and the error message has now gone.
    Hopefully this is the last time I need to post ??
