You theme file seems to have lost the plot.

There are only 2 ways to get it back :

1. Try and fix the PHP problem in the theme area. Depends on how competent you are at PHP coding, or

2. Access your sites database, and manually change the theme to another one, like the kulbrick default template.

This will give you access to the wp-admin area again, and you can rebuild things from there..

Soory, but there is no easy way to do this

take care

Hey Bruce, thanks for your help. It's just I have no idea how to read php or what not. I'm in the area where I can actually "see" the code, but I have what it means. Do you mind if I post it here? Anything helps...

This is so crazy. I feel like I'm in another world trying to solve a problem. Can any experts help me?

Here's the problem:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/c/l/o/cloud30/html/wp-content/themes/thesis_16/custom/custom_functions.php on line 94

The answer to the problem lies somewhere in here (I think it's just changing one little thing?):

// Using hooks is absolutey the smartest, most bulletproof way to implement things like plugins,
// custom design elements, and ads. You can add your hook calls below, and they should take the
// following form:
// add_action('thesis_hook_name', 'function_name');
// The function you name above will run at the location of the specified hook. The example
// hook below demonstrates how you can insert Thesis' default recent posts widget above
// the content in Sidebar 1:
// add_action('thesis_hook_before_sidebar_1', 'thesis_widget_recent_posts');

// Delete this line, including the dashes to the left, and add your hooks in its place.

The error mesage generally means a missing closing curly brackets. A } symbol.

The error message, just means that PHP crashed at that line. Its does not mean that is where the problem is. It could be in a plugin, some other file, or in this php file itself..

PM me if you want some more healp and I'll have a closer look

Hi Bruce, I understand. I was putting code in here and I took it out, then it crashed. I'm pretty sure this is where the problem is at because I was in the custom.php's section the entire time. Right now I can't log into my WordPress, but I do have access to my file manager where I can still change the custom.php there, which is what is posted above.

I see you are using the thesis theme. If you can log into the file manager, just go ahead and rename the custom_funtions.php to custom_funtions.php.bak. This will eliminate that file as the problem. If this does not solve it, Go to your plugins folder, create a folder name e.g holdtemp, then copy all you plugins or one by one to this folder. You will so eliminate the plugin that is causing this, if its a plugin.

Hulbert

Hi, I've renamed the folder custom_functions.php.bak but when I went back to my site, the header was completely messed up. So I went changed it back to custom_functions.php.

Where is the plugins folder located? I'm sorry, I don't think it's the plugin. I know it had to do with the code because I was trying to insert code in it a couple of hours ago, and it got messed up. I wanted to add something, but I shouldn't have done it. I'm regretting it because I want to fix this before I go to sleep.

hey there Hulbert

you are missing some code near "function post_article_call()"..
every other function has a closing curly bracket, except for this function.

is that where you were removing code?

backup the file, remove the following code and there will be no more errors with that file:

your site may come-back but without a previous backup of this file, it's not known what code needs to be in that function or what else you may have accidentally deleted.

peace

Hulbert

Hi, I noticed that there wasn't a closet bracket at the end of there.

"function post_article_call()"..

I'm going to try to put it in and see it works...

Hulbert

Thank you so much man! It worked! I would give you a handshake or something but I can't since your in Costa Rica! I'm so happy! This was the craziest coding experiencing I've ever gone through and I'm so grateful I'm not a programmer. You guys are talented! Yes! Phew... I can go to sleep now! Thanks again!

jajajaja.. you're welcome.

if you can get a copy of that original file, that would be great.. just to put things back in the original state.

peace
