 * Dear all,
 * I changed something in my child theme functions.php and now I get this error 
   message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’, expecting end of file in /www/htdocs/
   w0152578/laurin-versichert.at/wp-content/themes/insurance-ancora-child/functions.
   php on line 14
 * I found already solved topics to this, so I entered my FTP and would kindly ask,
   if when I deleted the inserted part there will it be solved then?
 * My code looks like this:
    <?php /** * Child-Theme functions and definitions */
 * function new_excerpt_more($more) {
    global $post; return ‘ ID) . ‘”>Read More141212122»‘;//
   Change to suit your needs }
 * add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘new_excerpt_more’ );
 * }
    .top_panel_over .top_panel_wrap { position:absolute; top:0; left:0; right:
   0; z-index:8000;
 * ?>
 * If I delete now that part:
 * }
    .top_panel_over .top_panel_wrap { position:absolute; top:0; left:0; right:
   0; z-index:8000;
 * will it be solved then or can I destroy sth? I would unlikely loose all the pages
   and settings I already made on my website. 🙁
 * Thank you so much in advance guys!!
    Regards, Anni

 * You placed CSS inside your functions.php
 * This is CSS and needs to go in your css file:
 * .top_panel_over .top_panel_wrap {
    position:absolute; top:0; left:0; right:0;
   z-index:8000; }

 * Ohh I see, thanks for the explanation!
 * Will it be done if I remove that part from the functions.php on my FTP Server?
 * Please copy me exactly which part I need to remove Hudson. In your post above
   there is another } at the end which I don’t have in the code right now.
 * Thank you so much!

 * I renamed the functions.php in the child, so it took the info from the parents
   functions.php (then wordpress worked again) and uploaded a saved functions.php
   to the child directory.
 * Problem solved, thanks!

 * Remember to put CSS is the .css file and only PHP functions in the functions.
