 * Hi,
 * [http://www.readmyreads.com/](http://www.readmyreads.com/)
 * I think I have corrupted my current activated theme, I would like to change my
   theme.
 * I am kind of in a problem. I was editing a theme in the editor, and I think I
   added an incorrect code and now my page shows this error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /hermes/bosweb/web102/b1029/nf.investophile/
   public_html/readmyreads/wp-content/themes/exile/functions.php on line 55
 * I tried logging back to my wp page to change the theme. But it shows the same
   error I cannot even log into my admin page anymore as it shows the same error,
   can I change the theme externally somehow without losing data.

 * -try switching to the unedited default theme (twentyten) for a moment by renaming
   your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The idea is to force WordPress
   to fall back to the default theme. Then you shuld be able to login in admin.
 * If you don’t have access to your admin area, then access your server via FTP 
   or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
