    So…. No clue what just happened???? When trying to go to either my website or my wp-admin site, I get this:

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/usbmp06/public_html/wp-content/themes/mywebsite/inc/theme-options.php on line 81”

    Please help ??

    I’m really contemplating just building the site in nothing but HTML… So much less of a head ache. Ofc, updating the content will be a serious pain >.<

    Btw, website is here:

  • What version of WordPress are you using?

    Newest… 3.4.1 or something.

    Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

    btw, this is what is on line 81:

    return ‘edit_theme_options’;

    It doesn’t have to do with WordPress… It’s the theme I’ve been working on.

    Then re-upload a fresh, unedited, copy of that theme.

    I’ll see if I can figure out what’s wrong… Am actually trying to make my own theme, sort of a challenge to myself to see if I can. Lol

    Thanks anyway though ??

    Then you just have a syntax error. Open the file theme-options.php, go to the line 81 and look for an unescaped string, missing semicolon, etc. If you open the file with an editor with syntax highlighting you’ll spot the issue right away.

    Do you know of any good free editors that include that??

    Sure! Notepadd++ is pretty decent, and free. Sublime Text 2 is not free, but it includes and unlimited trial. There are a lot more, but it depends on your platform.

    Sorry, but how do you enable syntax highlighting with notepad++??? Haha, I’m pretty much a noob when it comes to this stuff.

    Also, once I took out the functions.php, the website is working again. Sooooooo… Hmm >.<

    Headache.

    WOOT! Found it… There was a command in functions that was requiring theme options… Basically required the theme to be customizable, but since I don’t need that I took it out and it works fine.. SWEET
