 * Hi,
    I had a huge password mess, see other thread if interested. It involved 
   me messing with the emergency script and editing function.php. After I did that
   it kept throwing header errors.
 * In desperation I opened an old copy of the theme and grabbed the function.php
   file out of their. My website seems to be working now alright and I can login
   and such, but the function.php I installed over the other one was significantly
   smaller then the one that was in there.
 * What problems could I have created that I may not be seeing by doing what I did?
   I don’t know what function.php stores.
 * Thanks

 * If nothing looks wrong on your WordPress installation, and you are not getting
   any error messages then it’s probably fine.
 * If you want to be safe and make sure you put back `functions.php` as it was, 
   you can always download a fresh copy of your theme and just restore that one `
   functions.php` file back.
