 * I had an issue with WP not allowing me to access admin CP (white screen) after
   attempting to deactivate Picasa plugin. In attempting to troubleshoot I edited
   config.php and have been getting the below error ever since:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home3/allstav4/public_html/aussieontheroad/
   wp-config.php on line 1
 * Can somebody look over my code and see what is wrong? I’ve changed the login 
   details so they’re not my actual ones for the purpose of this post.

 * Make a break at the top:
 * `<?php/** *`
 * Should be:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /** *
       ```

 * Thanks.
 * Now I’m getting:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home3/allstav4/
   public_html/aussieontheroad/wp-blog-header.php on line 14
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Loads the WordPress environment and template.
        *

        */
   
       if ( !isset($wp_did_header) ) {
   
       	$wp_did_header = true;
   
       	require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );
   
       	wp();
   
       	require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php' );
   
       }
   
       ?>
       ```

 * This function is not recognized:
 * `wp();`
 * This means your WP files are not complete. Try to do a manual upgrade of your

 * Now I seem to have lost all access.
 * I just get this:

 * I tried to based on those instructions, but I didn’t have much luck at all. I
   am completely overwhelmed by this kind of thing.

 * How much are we saying? At this point I’m getting a little stressed. I don’t 
   make a lot of coin from this site, but it is something I’d rather not lose access
   to for long.
