Parse error on theme Education Pro functions.php

[bviva]

Hello -

I was trying to add a "Back" button function and failed, and ended up getting a parse error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home4/aktender/public_html/AITA/wp-content/themes/education-pro/functions.php on line 179". I deleted the script I was trying to add at the bottom of the functions.php file for education pro - and am left with an error. There are not 179 lines in that file - so not sure where the error message is pointing me. Can a php expert point me to where the error is? I am greatly appreciative of your help.

Posting the entire functions file into your message isn't going to help. Please copy your functions.php into gist and provide a link.

Hi Victor & Chinmoy -

I went into the c-panel to copy the functions.php file under the theme folder and discovered that the erroneous code was still in the file (even tho I thought I had deleted it in the word-press interface) and therefore was causing the error. I deleted that coding and voila it fixed my broken site!! An excellent lesson for me in the mysterious word-press world.

Thank you both very much for your responses.
