    This morning i got an email from a client saying that my website was down. I haven’t made any change to it, yesterday it was ok. this morning when i tried to access the site i got this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /htdocs/public/www/wp-content/themes/folioway/folioway/index.php on line 22

    Have i been hacked or something? How can i solve this problem?

    The best way to find out is to inspect the code in your theme’s index.php

    Since you can’t access your site through normal means, it would mean using a file manager if your host offers one, or FTP

    If you aren’t all that familiar with code, you can delete the theme through FTP and reinstall it

    I’m familiar with code. You are saying that reinstall the theme would probably solve my problem ?

    I would first, inspect the code

    Has something been changed? If it has, it could be a hack – in which case we would need to do more to solve the problem.

    After inspecting the issue, replacing the theme could be a quick way to get back up and running.

    Ultimately we need to figure out what the problem is – it doesn’t sound like the theme has a coding problem since it worked for you – so code inspection is the best first step here
