cannot access to theme editor anymore

By phil_traveler, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Help, I add a code in the editor but I made some mistake
I now get this message and can’t access to change it! The site is not visible anymore :(

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/thebutt3/public_html/wp-content/themes/vantage/functions.php on line 468

How to fix that?

    I added a code in the function.php file.

     
}
$id = get_the_ID();
$categories = get_the_category();
if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
	$date .=  sprintf(__(' in %s', 'recent-posts-widget-extended' ), $categories[0]->name );
}

    I solved accessing to the file through C-Panel.

    Hi Phil_traveler

    Glad to hear you made progress.

    Please, keep in mind that all WordPress.org themes completely overwrite their own folder during theme updates. Changes made to any parent theme files will be lost if you ever run a theme update.

    A child theme should be used:

    All the best.
