 * Hi,
 * I added a line of code at the bottom of my functions.php but then deleted it,
   but now I get this error: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /
   home1/magnus1/public_html/marketingwithmichelle.com/wp-content/themes/your-theme/
   functions.php on line 163”.
 * Here is the code:
 * [Large code excerpt removed by moderator per [forum rules](https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   Please use [the pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/) for all large code 
   excerpts. It works better anyway.]
 * Any help would be much appreciated! 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Michelle

 * – Your current theme named “your-theme”seems to be causing the issue.
 * – Try switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme. Since you don’t
   have access to your admin area, use [FTP ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides.
   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. That will force your site
   to use it.

 * Hmmm… “your-theme” is my theme. It’s part of Genesis and has a ton of custom 
   coding. Can I not get this to work again? 🙁
