  • The error you’re getting is a theme error. Go ahead and login (at yoursite.com/wp-admin), and reactivate your default theme, or a different theme, and the site should work fine. If you’re really set on using that particular theme, paste the file functions.php (which is in your theme folder) at https://pastebin.ca/, and we should be able to help.

    Hey Peter,
    I’m unable to get to any part of my site, I just get the same error message. Tell me if this would work, that is going to cpanel deleting (functions php) folder and re-uploading the folder since the problem seems to be an extra (?)in the code. Overwriting it wouldn’t work? I’m pretty new to this editing, I think I’m just getting to know enough to be dangerous!lol
    Anyway thanks for your response, I’ll wait to attempt that until I hear back.

    Interesting. It didnt occur to me that a functions.php problem would wreck the whole install, but I suppose that makes sense.

    You’re on the right track – here’s what I’d do: Get into your site with an ftp program (or cpanel, I suppose), and either delete or rename functions.php (it will be located in wp-content/themes/whatever theme folder), or just rename/delete the entire theme folder. Once you do this, the frontend of your site wont display, but you should be able to login to the backend again, and change the theme back to default.

    After all that, if you still want to use that theme, we can probable get the function order sorted out.
