    I tried installing a free theme that I found yesterday, and now I can't access my wordpress.org blog at all. I get this when I try to view it, and the same message when I try to go to a login page.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/affor11/public_html/conservative-quote-of-the-day.com/wp-content/themes/study_of_american_patriotism_eve089/functions.php on line 1479

    I have no access to remove the theme, and no access to any part of my blog - back end or to view it.

    Can anybody help me? I see that there is no contact form for wordpress and I'm at a loss as to how to fix this!

    Thanks in advance.

    can you access your hosting.
    remove wordpress then re-install it.
    you will lose your info though

    Wrong Advice to reinstall

    Using ftp rename or delete this folder study_of_american_patriotism_eve089
    in themes folder so that default theme opens.

    Govpatel is right, go via FTP and delete the new theme files.

  5. Edit: Ha! Two people beat me this time.

    remove wordpress then re-install it.

    NO. Don't do that. That's extreme and not necessary.

    Get your host to delete the file wp-content/themes/study_of_american_patriotism_eve089/functions.php. If you have FTP access to your web server then you can do that yourself.

    Once that's done, you should be able to administer your blog. Visit http://http://conservative-quote-of-the-day.com/wp-admin/themes.php and select the Twenty Ten theme.

    Thanks, Jan! That worked!

  7. Thank Govpatel too, his advice was right on target. If I hadn't been typing slowly I'd have notice he'd given good advice also. :)
