 * This is the first time I’ve gotten this error:
 * > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘*’ in /data/25/2/17/156/2669971/user/
   > 2931484/htdocs/WordPress/wp-content/themes/ifeature/functions.php on line 274
 * I do not have “cPanel” nor am I really familiar with it. I’ve been researching
   everything I can and I finally gave in to asking the wordpress forums. I’m not
   sure if I should be asking my host (networksolutions)for help that’s relevant
   to wordpress so I decided to go with asking wordpress.
 * The video I saw said to use cPanel to track where the line with the error was.
   I don’t have cPanel so it only gives me one directory to go to which is the cPanel
   demo one. I cannot find any way to locate line 274. I’ve tried in notepad, and
   i’ve tried in this program called Programmer’s Notepad.
    The Notepads lines only
   went up to 10, but a ton of columns, and the Programmer’s Notepad said there 
   were only 266 lines. So now i’m just completely stumped on what to do. I cannot
   log into my wordpress dashboard and I can’t visit my website.
 * In the video that I watched, it said I could either rename or delete the folder
   that contains my theme’s contents. So I renamed it (I put a 2 after it) and then
   that’s when I was inable to log into everything.
    So then I tried deleting it
   and I still had the same issue. Apparently, If I were to rename or deleted the
   folder, the theme would go back to the default one and it didn’t.
 * Here’s the information I [tried] following:

 * I would be greatly thankful if someone could help me out.
    Thank you!

 * When you log into networksolutions they will have someway for you to manage your
   files. Check with your host.
