Parse error: syntax error, unexpected?
-
Hi Everyone,
So last night i purchased a theme (from themeforest.net) and chucked the files in the WordPress theme files. The theme ‘installed’ fine but when i activate it; i get this error on an otherwise empty page
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /home/tasmania/public_html/wp-content/themes/entrepeneur/functions/widget_areas.php on line 1”
The website and the WordPress admin no longer work until i remove the theme from the WordPress files.
Opening up the widget_areas.php gives me this LINE of coding
<?phpif ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) { register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Sidebar’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<li id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ”, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widgettitle”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’, ));}if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Homepage’, ‘before_widget’ => ”, ‘after_widget’ => ”, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”icon_header”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,));if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Footer’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”footer_widget”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h4>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h4>’,));if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Contact Page’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<li id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘<div class=”widget-divider”></div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widgettitle”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,));?>
Does anybody know what is causing this error? I have no idea about coding and I would really appreciate any help. I have googled it and nothing relevant comes up.
Thanks in advance for anyone that posts, muchly appreciated..
Callum.
Note:
The theme im trying to get live is called “entrepeneur”.
