Can't login in admin: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

Hello,
I get an error when I try to login to one of my websites
(the website is accessible though):

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING …

First it was in a file in a plugin, so via FTP I changed the name of the plugin folder to deactivate it,
then it was with another plugin, so I changed the names of the plugins folder altogether,

it then made the same error with my theme,
I then changed the name of my theme folder,
then the page is totally blank

I restored the database from 10 days ago: still the same
I uploaded the latest version of wordpress : still the same

Could you help me?
I have no idea what was done to the website to make these errors…

Thanks for your help
Vincent

Are you sure it’s not a plugin problem

The url is http://healingcreativity.com/
the site itself works properly, it’s only the admin that bugs…

I changed the name of the plugins folder, it seems to me it would deactivate all plugins…

but then as I said it makes the same error with the themes:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home4/julietjc/public_html/healingcreativity.com/wp-content/themes/HealingCreativityChildTheme/lib/admin/theme-settings.php on line 457

The issue is definitely in your theme. Were did you download it from?

I made a child theme from a child theme of genesis.

It has been working perfectly for such a long time.

Only modified the sidebar width before this error appeared

What happens when you use the parent theme?

I tried to deactivate the child theme, but the page is then blank

Are you activating the parent theme? Or the default Twenty Twelve theme?

How can I activate the theme of my choice since I cannot access the admin, I guess I can do it in phpmyadmin, but some guidance would be appreaciated

Try switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

I have done that already, and the page is then totally blank

Re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the Twenty Twelve folder to wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

I did re-uploaded TwentyTwelve but it doesn’t get better at all.

hi vincentleleux your wp-admin is redirecting to this url http://healingcreativity.com/healingcreativity.com/wp-admin/ after going to healingcreativity.com/wp-admin. it may be problem in siteurl or homeurl

make sure your siteurl and homeurl is correct.
