 * For some reason I am having a “Parse Error, syntax error” in line 796. I believe
   is this code I was editing:
 *     ```
       if ( ! function_exists( 'azera_shop_footer_powered_by' ) ) {
   
       	/**
       	 * Display the powered by section in the footer
       	 */
       	function azera_shop_footer_powered_by() {
       		?>
       		<div class="powered-by">
       			<?php printf(
       				__( '%1$s powered by %2$s', 'azera-shop' ),
       				sprintf( '<a href="www.facebook.com/imediamarketingpr" rel="nofollow">%s</a>', esc_html__( 'WordPress', 'azera-shop' ) ),
       				sprintf( '<a href="www.natudoctor.com" rel="nofollow">%s</a>', esc_html__( 'Azera Shop', 'azera-shop' ) ),
       			); ?>
       		</div>
       		<?php
       	}
       }
   
       add_action( 'azera_shop_bottom_footer','azera_shop_footer_powered_by' );
       ```
   
 * Please, I need assistance. Thanks in advance.

 * you have copy/pasted some code from a text source which often include odd formatting
   especially of the quotation marks, which renders the code useless.
 * all single and double quotation marks need to be straight like `'` and `"`
 * correct the quotation marks in this whole section:
 *     ```
       if ( ! function_exists( ‘azera_shop_footer_powered_by’ ) ) {
   
       /**
       * Display the powered by section in the footer
       */
       function azera_shop_footer_powered_by() {
       ?>
       <div class=”powered-by”>
       <?php printf(
       __( ‘%1$s powered by %2$s’, ‘azera-shop’ ),
       sprintf( ‘<a href=”www.facebook.com/imediamarketingpr” rel=”nofollow”>%s</a>’, esc_html__( ‘WordPress’, ‘azera-shop’ ) ),
       sprintf( ‘<a href=”www.natudoctor.com” rel=”nofollow”>%s</a>’, esc_html__( ‘Azera Shop’, ‘azera-shop’ ) ),
       ); ?>
       </div>
       <?php
       }
       }
   
       add_action( ‘azera_shop_bottom_footer’,’azera_shop_footer_powered_by’ );
       ```

 * Thank you very much Michael! I checked in the FTP lines and it was because I 
   erased a comma by mistake.
 * Appreciate your time and help.
