 * I (stupidly) tried to change the custom-header template.php in the twenty fourteen
   WP theme and now I can’t get into my site or any of the ‘appearance – editor’
   area to upload the code from an unedited .php
    The message on my site (irlenwa.
   com.au) and every page I try is:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/wp_th5xi8/irlenwa.com.au/wp-
   content/themes/twentyfourteen/inc/custom-header.php on line 128
 * Is there any way I can fix this, or can I delete wordpress from my domain: irlenwa.
   com.au and then start again?
