Serious problem here folks

    I was an idiot I will be the first to admit that and was playing around with the html code in my carrington theme. And now I have screwed everything up. I can not even log into my account. I have lost my blog.
    I hope someone out there can help me. I have contacted my hosting provider and they told me there is nothing they can do for me. I get the following message when I try to access my blog or even try to log in.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in D:\Hosting\4536131\html\blog\wp-content\themes\carrington-blog\functions\sidebars.php on line 31

    I should point out just in case it is not obvious I am what you would call a low tech type person. In other words as a result of my stupidity trying to manipulate the html code I think I have screwed everything up. Thank you

    since you don’t really know php. the easiest thing to do is if you hosting has a backup feature restore your site to the last date it was working.

    if not as the error tells you, there is a problem in the file “wp-content\themes\carrington-blog\functions\sidebars.php” in line 31 you probably deleted a coma, word, dot or something you can upload you theme again through FTP and this should fix it.

    your are not going to be able to upload the theme with wordpress.

    Thank you. I have contacted Godaddy and hope that they can restore my site to when it was working. I have learned a very valuable lesson the first being don’t tamper with things you don’t know about and always always always make back up of your info. Since if Godaddy is not able to restore my site I will have lost all of my blog posts.

    Not necessarily. Your posts are in your database and that doesn’t normally go away if your WordPress installation does.

    You may also try to access your WP admin by going directly to https://your_domain_here/wp-admin and change the theme to another one (default would be a good choice).
