    Hello,

    I made a small change to the theme_styles_Scripts.php file, and ever since then the entire site has crashed and all I can see is this error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /homepages/17/d177937787/htdocs/clickandbuilds/CMS0/wp-content/themes/alaska/core/theme_styles_scripts.php on line 718

    I am locked out of editing anything at this point and I have no idea how to fix this. Please help!!

    Thanks!
    Roxanne

    Your “alaska” theme seems to be the error.

    To confirm, try switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen.) using FTP/ SFTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides (no Dashboard access required). Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme (Twenty Sixteen.). That will force your site to use it.

    t-p’s advice is spot on for getting your site functional again. If you know exactly what you did wrong, download the problem file via FTP etc., correct the error, then upload the corrected version. Or simply upload the original version of the file if you have that available.

    You’ve experienced first hand why you shouldn’t use the theme editor to make changes to the current theme. We advise that everyone make edits through the FTP download/upload cycle, keeping error free backup versions available should they be needed. It’s not as convenient, but far safer.
