Can't access site or admin panel because of "Parse Error"

    Hi.

    I recently downloaded a WordPress theme and was changing some text in the editor, but when I tried to update the file and view my page, I received this.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /home/karaba1/karlabad.com/wp-content/themes/onetone/includes/admin-options.php on line 101

    I’m not quite sure how to fix the error on line 101 without being able to access the admin panel on my site. Sorry, I’m new to all this and can’t figure it out on my own.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    your theme “onetone” seems to be the issue.

    To rule out any theme-specific issue, try switching to the default Twenty Fourteen theme for a moment.

    Ahh. Is there a way to do that without being able to get to my site and access the admin panel through there?

    If you don’t have access to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.

    Okay, I’m trying to figure out how to do that through Dreamhost right now. Haven’t even heard about FTP until now haha.

    Okay, so I accessed the files through Filezilla, and I added “-old” to the end of the wp-content/themes folder name. But I tried going to my site on my browser and nothing came up, not even the parse error message. So I deleted all my themes except for twentyfourteen, and I’m getting the same thing.

    Will it just take a while for it to change and show up on my browser?

    The site is just showing up as a blank white page now. :[

    Going to try restoring the site through Dreamhost.

    EDIT: Managed to just restore the site. Was probably an error with setting the theme though. Thanks for the help, Tara!

    Are you adding -old to the end of wp-content/themes or wp-content/themes/onetone ? I may be wrong but I think Tara was suggesting the latter option?

    Edit: Ah, just saw your update, glad it’s working now

    – Tryresetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed or some plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you break them and force them inactive).

    i can not log into my wordpress site. this the error I get on my internet browser “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/content/p3nexnas06_data03/40/2161440/html/wp-content/themes/wpex-tetris/functions.php on line 78”. Please help me somebody, I am new to WordPress
    and I want to learn creating websites with WordPress it is an amazing content software. Thank you in advance.
