Need to center both image and text side by side

Good. try to access this directory:
wp-content/themes/mh_newsdesk

and edit this file: functions.php

Tell me how you placed the code, because I believe you didn’t place it well.

This is at the bottom of the file

function cc_recommends( $atts ) {
	$a = shortcode_atts( array(
        'text' => 'something',
        'url' => 'something else',
        'urltext' => 'something else again',
    ), $atts );
	ob_start();
?>
<style type="text/css">
.ct-recommends {
	text-align: center;
    display: block; border: 1px solid #BEBEBE;
    border-width: 1px 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 100%;
}
.ct-recommends div {
	display: inline-block;
	max-width: 50%;
	vertical-align: -webkit-baseline-middle;
	vertical-align: middle;
}
</style>
<div class="ct-recommends">
	<div>
		<img class="wp-image-1644 alignleft lazy-loaded" src="https://www.cutcabletoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/MrCCT-Head1.png" data-lazy-type="image" data-src="https://www.cutcabletoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/MrCCT-Head1.png" alt="Mr. Cable Cutter" width="110" height="121"><noscript><img class=" wp-image-1644 alignleft" src="https://www.cutcabletoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/MrCCT-Head1.png" alt="Mr. Cable Cutter" width="110" height="121" /></noscript>
	</div>
	<div>
		<?php echo "<h3>{$a['text']}&nbsp;<a href=\"{$a['url']}\">{$a['urltext']}</a></h3>\n"; ?>
	</div>
</div>
<?php
	return ob_get_clean();
}

add_shortcode('cc-recommends', 'cc_recommends');

tell me what’s right above this code? is it a PHP closing tag ( ?> ) ?
If yes, remove it.

If I just remove it and save, would my site go back up?

yes that is there. i removed it and saved.

Sorry, if you don’t have access to the admin area, just remove the code you added from the start, for the shortcode, and I will try to set you up a quick plugin instead or see something else..

Ok, site is back up. That was a scare! Thanks for walking me back through

You’re welcome. let me set you up a quick plugin and give you a download link.

Thank you too.

Here’s your download link:

Note: the file will be removed in future.

Hey Samuel, I still cannot access my WP dashboard. When I type in the URL I normally go to, it just comes up blank. Any ideas how to fix?

I am sorry to hear about that.
Again, if the plugin was causing that, just login to FTP and go to wp-content/plugins/ and delete mccr-shortcodes folder

I am sorry about the bad experience

I did not add the plug-in yet. My site is up and running but when i put in the web address with /wp-admin it is a blank white screen. Any idea of how to get it back?

Maybe you did something in the functions.php file.. you can restore that file with a fresh copy from your theme

Fixed….I’ve decided I’m not messing with this anymore right now!
