Thanks for the quick response. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089708) * Can you edit the functions.php file from your control panel? * If not there should be an option to upload files. In that option find the ‘`/ wp-content/themes/make/`‘ directory and then download the ‘`functions.php`‘ file from within that directory. * Depending on [which version of Make](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/make/) you’re using, copy all of the code from [the theme’s original functions.php file](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/make/1.1.1/functions.php) and then paste it over all of the code in your corrupted functions.php file. – Then upload that to the ‘`/wp-content/themes/make/`‘ directory. * Thread Starter [tombrewer427](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tombrewer427/) * (@tombrewer427) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089711) * The version that I have is: define( ‘TTFMAKE_VERSION’, ‘1.1.0’ ); * You gave me a link to version 1.1.1. Will this work ok? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089712) * Here’s Version 1.1.0’s functions.php file: [http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/make/1.1.0/functions.php](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/make/1.1.0/functions.php) * Thread Starter [tombrewer427](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tombrewer427/) * (@tombrewer427) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089714) * OOPS! Sorry, I see that you also gave me links to the various versions. Let me try to replace the correct one. * Thread Starter [tombrewer427](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tombrewer427/) * (@tombrewer427) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089716) * Yike, it did not work. I copied all the code as you suggested. Downloaded the functions.php file. Renamed it to functions.txt. Edited and replaced the code. Renamed it back to functions.php. Uploaded it and have the same results. Any thoughts? Can I use Notepad to edit the file? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089717) * Can you double-check your file is not functions.txt.php? * Thread Starter [tombrewer427](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tombrewer427/) * (@tombrewer427) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089718) * Yes, it is. functions.php * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089720) * If you rename your theme’s folder from “make” to “make-broken” (example) WordPress should deactivate your theme at least and revert to the default theme that came with your installation. * Thread Starter [tombrewer427](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tombrewer427/) * (@tombrewer427) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-messed-up-1/#post-5089726) * That did it, I have my dashboard back. I guess I can just reload Make. Then delete the Make-broken version.
