 * this appears when I go to my website or click anything in the wordpress:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/mglines/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/responsive/functions.php on line 18

 * I know this thread has been done for months. However, I accidentally edited the
   functions.php and tried to upload the original functions.php through filezilla
   and nothing happened. What do I try now?
