uploaded code for google fonts and got an error message

[frobin]

followed the instructions to upload google fonts. When I save and refreshed my page I got this error message,

error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/fromlond/public_html/6robinsphotographytrailblazers.com/wp-content/themes/executive-pro/functions.php on line 206

How can I undo the code in order to restore my site.

I followed these instructions:

We now use and recommend this new method. Open up the functions.php file of one of our child themes and place the following code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
<?php
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag

//* Enqueue Lato Google font
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'sp_load_google_fonts' );
function sp_load_google_fonts() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'google-font-lato', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
}

view raw functions.php hosted with ❤ by GitHub

The code you see above will load a Google Font style sheet and will also include the Lato Font in weights of 300 and 700. And that’s all there is to it.

To remove the code from functions.php, you'll need to access your files either via FTP or your host's file manager and edit the file that way.

This is the only part that should have been pasted into your functions file:

//* Enqueue Lato Google font
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘sp_load_google_fonts’ );
function sp_load_google_fonts() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘google-font-lato’, ‘//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,700′, array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
}

If any of the rest got pasted in, that will explain the parse error.

Okay, I did the same thing. I can download my functions.php file via my cpanel. How in the world do I open it in order to delete the code that I added based on your instructions?

You should be able to open it in a basic text editor - don't use MS Word or anything because it will add formatting to it.

You can edit in cPanel, or download something like Notepad++ on Windows
