    I was making changes to functions.php, and now am getting the following error

    "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home2/timothyw/public_html/wp-content/themes/genesis-sample/functions.php on line 93"

    I had a copy of functions.php so I pasted it into the editor and deleted the old code but it didn't help.

    There are not 93 lines in the functions.php file.

    I can open the editor but trying to load the site results in a blank white screen with that message at the top of the page.

    Help! Please!

    You need to access your site through FTP.

    I also have file manager. I thought if that after posting.

    rename the existing functions.php and upload a fresh copy?
    delete the bad one (optional)?
    Do the symptoms indicate the problem is limited to the function.php?

    Thank you
    I'll post the results

    i could have overwritten the file instead.
    but it worked.
    Thanks for the tech and moral support.
