 * Please bare with me as this is my first post to the WP Forums. I was attempting
   to remove the admin login link on the bottom of my page and now i am receiving
   this message and can’t open my webpage. I am sure it’s something simple but I
   couldn’t find an answer when searching the existing posts. Thank you for any 
   insight and I mean no disrespect if I made a mistake with my post. Thank you 
   for your help!
 * Error message below.
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/
   80/8032880/html/wp-content/themes/crystal/functions.php on line 40

 * Any luck contacting your theme’s vendors?

 * You should be able to download a new copy of your theme and replace that file
   using FTP:
 *     ```
       wp-content
             themes
                  crystal
                      functions.php REPLACE THIS FILE
       ```
   
 * If that doesn’t work, you can deactivate that theme by changing the name on the
   theme’s folder using FTP or Cpanel:
 *     ```
       wp-content
             themes
                  crystal.HOLD
       ```
   
 * And then reinstall the theme and/or ask studiopress for help.
