    website: pinellasbusinessdirectory.com

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /home3/projectx/public_html/wp-content/themes/raindrops/functions.php on line 1

    is what is being displayed when I try to view my site or login to pinellasbusinessdirectory.com/wp-admin

    I have no idea what caused this. I am relatively new to wordpress. was offline for about an hour and a half to watch a movie after adding some seo plugins and playing with my widgets. when I returned this is what has occurred.

    Someone please help I cant access anything!

    Hi AngelikWebDesigns

    You can see from the following link: source code of the part where the error has occurred

    https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/raindrops/1.204/functions.php

    Please compare your raindrops functions.php

    line1 ( first line ) is same? or not?

    thats the problem. I cannot access pinellasbusinessdirectory.com/wp-admin in order to view my editor. Im relatively new to wordpress also.

    How can I fix this?

    I did do the update on the theme I think yesterday so it should be the most recent version. I dont remember doing anything to the “functions.php file. I did edit the css file in relation to the header earlier this evening but that was it. aside from playing around testing a few widgets / plugins.

    I just dont understand what to do. I have no way to access my site or administrative backend to repair this.

    Hi Nobita I even tried to go back into my browsing history to see if I could access my editor from earlier when I was modifying the css file but the same thing occurs. same syntax error.

    How is it that this would disable my entire site and the wordpress admin area? I’ve got to get this fixed but have no idea what to do.

    Can you check the file in the SERVER using FTP tool?

    If you can not,

    Please try to ask how to get in touch with the web hosting suppliers, to check the files on the server

    And compare the souce code line 1

    Thank you.

    not sure how to do that. I use hostgator for hosting service. i can get into pinellasbusinessdirectory.com/cpanel the source code for line 1 should be <?php
