 * While removing some tool bar menu items in the functions.php file of my theme,
   I seem to have broken my site (www.lyriquest.com) and now get the following error:
 * Warning: dir(TEMPLATEPATHhome/wp-content/themes/setlist/) [function.dir]: failed
   to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/content/26/9196326/html/wp-includes/
   functions.php on line 100
 * Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in /home/content/
   26/9196326/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 101
 * Any assistance would be appreciated.

 * After receiving an error from a functions.php edit, i went to replace the problem
   functions.php file with the original from the theme (which has worked before)
   and may have inadvertently placed it in the wp-includes dir. I’ve made sure the
   original functions.php is in the theme directory and have tried to delete functions.
   php from the wp-includes dir but no luck.

 * For example, on line 100,
 *     ```
       $dir = dir(TEMPLATEPATH."/");     var_dump($dir);exit;
       ```

 * OK. Modified file per above, replaced existing file on site, re-downloaded but
   no dump result. Is there something I need to do to execute the command?

 * Here is what I get.
 * function get_availableCss(){
    $result = array(); $dir = dir(TEMPLATEPATH.”/”);
   var_dump($dir);exit; while (false !== ($file = $dir->read())) { if(ereg(“\.css”,
   $file, $r)){ $result[] = $file; } } $dir->close(); return $result; }

 * Not sure if the dump should appear in functions.php file or on the web page after
   the modified file is loaded. Here is from the file:
    /* Get Available CSS */ 
   function get_availableCss(){ $result = array(); var_dump(TEMPLATEPATH.”/”);exit;
   $dir = dir(TEMPLATEPATH.”/”); while (false !== ($file = $dir->read())) { if(ereg(“\.
   css”, $file, $r)){ $result[] = $file; } } $dir->close(); return $result; }
 * Here is from the site with the modified file loaded.
 * Warning: dir(TEMPLATEPATH/) [function.dir]: failed to open dir: No such file 
   or directory in /home/content/26/9196326/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line
   100
    bool(false)

 * I’m sorry, I can’t find the solution to this.
    Remove the code I recommended 
   you add.
 * I’m sure you’ll receive help from others.
