   it and when we just opened it yesterday there was an error:
   **Parse error**: 
   in **/home/revelat2/public_html/sydneyflooring.com.au/wp-includes/vars.php(34):
   runtime-created function** on line **1**I hope you can help us with this matter.

 * I suspect your website has been hacked. My recommendation: first read this article:
 * > [FAQ My site was hacked](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/)
 * After that, I would recommend checking whether you still have a clean backup.
   If so, delete all files and the database and restore the backup. Then change 
   all access data in the hosting.
 * If you do not have a backup, you could try to replace all WordPress core files
   manually. The procedure is described here: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/updating-wordpress/#manual-update](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/updating-wordpress/#manual-update)
 * Finally, you should secure your project. This is described in more detail in 
   the article here: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/hardening-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/hardening-wordpress/)
