    Hi all,

    I was attempting to add a couple lines of code to my functions.php, and got this error message when I tried to save it:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home4/pandp/public_html/wp-content/themes/lifestyle-pro/functions.php on line 55

    I removed the new code, and still got the same message. There is no < anywhere in the functions.php except on line 1.

    I have the functions.php open now, but if I try to navigate to any other admin page, I just get that error message, and trying to open any page on my site gives the error message too.

    Can anyone (please!) help?

    Thanks, Jen

    Fixed it - Even though I had functions.php open in WP Admin, it didn't actually save the change when I erased the new code. Did it with FTP and that fixed it.
