Use an ftp client to navigate to the functions.php file and remove the offending code. Alternatively you can simply replace the functions.php file with a fresh (or your backup copy) from the original theme. Or, if you have no backup, download another copy of the theme and retrieve/replace it from there.
how do i do that. i need someone to walk me through, i just downloaded smartftp client but its a trial version. what do i do once i open it up, please help me
how do i download a copy of the theme and upload it on there? I’m not that good with computers.
ALWAYS copy your current code and back it up before editing.
I know what I added. So couldn’t I just go back in and erase it? I just can’t get back into wordpress. So that I can take it out. How do I get back in there. Someone please help me, that is why im under the support section. Because I am not good with computers and this is my first time building a site.
A) Don’t panic. If you are, just stop and do nothing for a few minutes
while you take a breather. It’ll be okay! 🙂
FTP Clients
“There are two ways of getting files onto your site, and once there, changing them.
1. By using your cPanel, or whatever file manager is provided by your host.
2. By using a FTP client. This guide will show you how to use FileZilla. “
Filezilla is free, very popular and pretty easy to use. Do a little reading first. Your hosts file manger should also allow you to edit or delete and replace files as well.
If you need a new copy of the theme, it’s right here in the directory.

ok so im on my c-panel now what do i do?
You can use the back button on your browser to get back to wordpress to the page where you edited the code
Navigate your way to /wp-content/themes/mystique/functions.php, and you should be able to edit/remove the code you put in the functions.php file.
Wow, thanks so much. Thats was done quickly. Now I guess before I screw something else up. Could you look at my page and tell me how to move the nav bar just below my headed picture so I can see everything. http://www.thegeckoden.com
Thanks so much everyone. For all your help.
That worked like a charm. Congratulations!
If I remember correctly, the latest version of Mystique has a lot of user options in the dashboard. Give me a minute to fire up a test server an I will take a look and see if it is something simple.
Thanks for donating your time to me. Much appreciated
Okay. I’m using version 1.16, so it might be older than yours, but navigate to Dashboard >appearance > Mystigue settings > Advanced
and in the user defined area where it says “Modify anything related to design using CSS code”
Try pasting this in the box and save the changes.
#header{display:block;position:relative;z-index:5;height:246px;}
See if that moves you in the right direction. To tweak it, change the 246px setting. If it doesn’t work, you can just delete the code and save the changes.
Wow it worked. Great. Thanks so much for all your help. Definately will be using this forum again. Very helpfull. Great members
Thanks to ClaytonJames. My site is running perfectly have a great evening everyone.
