 * I am using the Expound theme in wordpress and changed the fuction.php file trying
   to change the footer. Now I am getting the message
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /home/content/27/11058027/html/
   bellferro/dev/wp-content/themes/expound/functions.php on line 264
 * Does anyone know what I can do to fix this. The following is the code I need 
   to fix. I can’t even sign into my wordpress anymore. Thanks in advance.
 * /**
    * Footer credits. */ function expound_display_credits() { $text = ‘Bellferro
   Ironworks | Custom Iron Designs’ ; $text = ‘<span class=”sep”> | </span>’; $text
   = ’29 Ridge Road West’; $text = ‘Grimsby,ON’; $text = ‘905-401-3001’; echo apply_filters(‘
   expound_credits_text’, $text ); } add_action( ‘expound_credits’, ‘expound_display_credits’);

 * Upload the original functions.php file and you will be able to login.

 * Did a quick fix. Commented out the offending code so now at least I can log in.
   I don’t have the original functions.php file unless I install WP on a test domain
   and get the file from there. How else can I get the file?

 * The original functions.php file comes with the theme’s zip file when you download
   it from WordPress.org: [http://wordpress.org/themes/expound](http://wordpress.org/themes/expound)
 * Alternatively get the code from SVN (assuming you’re using v.1.8) [http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/expound/1.8/functions.php](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/expound/1.8/functions.php)
