    We were trying to add a Google Analytics tracker to the functions.php file of the blog.mawi.co.uk wordpress blog, obviously there was some mistake as now we are unable to log in to the wp admin panel or view the blog. The following error message shows – Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /homepages/21/d127406775/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mawi-2010/functions.php on line 222

    We would like to go back into the file and remove the code that we entered but how do we do this since we can’t log in to the admin panel?

    I contacted 1and1 out web host and they said they are unable to help with a wordpress issue. Please help!

    Download the theme’s functions.php from wp-content/themes/mawi-2010 using FTP, delete the code you added and re-upload the file.

    Thanks so much for your help! I’m able to view the blog now, however I’m still not able to log in to wp admin panel. The error showing up is as follows, I’m not sure why since I just deleted the google analytics tracker and nothing else?

    Re-upload a fresh copy of the theme to wp-content/themes using FTP.
