 * Hi
 * I was just updating my new website and decided to change theme. There was something
   wrong with the theme before I activated it, but I thought it would resolve itself
   when not in a live preview. How wrong I was…
 * I now cannot access my website OR the dashboard!! So I cannot even undo my changes!!
   The error message I’m getting is:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/seedicbw/www.seedingthefuture.
   co.uk/wp-content/themes/the-monday/inc/the-monday-functions.php on line 414
 * I’ve read other posts with people getting the same problem and they’ve said it’s
   got something to do with the PHP? I have no idea what this is though or how to
   change it.
 * Any help will be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

 * Using FTP or from your hosting control panel, either rename wp-content/themes/
   the-monday to wp-content/themes/the-monday.old or delete it. WordPress will fall
   back to its default theme, twentysixteen. (Deleting is probably better.)
