Trying to change fonts in Parallax Pro but crashed site instead.

[Jamie]

Hi,
I'm in the process of switching my real site over from Prose to Parallax Pro. I'm working on a sandbox prototype; link is http://www.jamierohrbaugh.com.

This morning, I was working on changing the fonts over to my Google fonts: Great Vibes and Playfair Display. I installed the @import code in the stylesheet and then was trying to get it to actually display those fonts. (I am totally new at this, so pardon my ignorance since I obviously did it wrong.) I went through the stylesheet and changed all the goudy font coding to Playfair Display. But nothing changed. Nothing.

So I thought maybe something else was interfering and I went to the functions.php file and sure enough, found the default font there. So, like a genius, I changed it to Playfair Display... and then saved... and then the whole site crashed and produced a white screen that says "server error."

Anybody know what I did wrong? And how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help!
Jamie

Thanks! That will be great after I get my site back, but I don't think it helps me a bit to get back into it, since it's still completely crashed with a "server error" white screen. ?

Jamie:

You will need to access your hosting site (either via cPanel, or FTP), and load a fresh functions.php file to restore your site.

[Jamie]

Awesome. Thanks! So just wondering... What did I do wrong? Why wouldn't the new fonts have shown up on the site after I added the Google fonts code?

Jamie:

Without seeing your actual functions.php file, I cannot tell, but you may have had a space in there, or a invalid comma (or any number of things...)

It worked. Thanks!
