Using an FTP client such as FileZilla or your host provided File Management Tool, rename the existing functions.php file to old-functions.php and upload an unedited version. You can then download and review what went wrong with the original one. I discourage folks from ever using the WP theme editor for this very reason. Use FTP and keep an unedited copy.
Still didnt work for me, same message
Are you using a child theme or a custom css plugin?
I am using the spun theme
Are you using a child theme or a custom css plugin?
I believe I am just using a child theme
I had the same problem today except i was just getting a white page. If you know what you changed in the funtions.php file, try to just undo it through FTP and delete all cache. That’s what did it for me, good luck!
How do I delete the cache
You cannot do that without having access to your dashboard – not relevant as the same error still exists on your site.
So now, using FTP, rename the spun theme folder –
wordpress
wp-content
themes
spunOLD (change the name on this folder)
If you have a spun child theme folder, change the name on that one too.
ended up retrying to upload the functions folder and it worked, thank you so much
