word press gone cant access

I made a child of vantage premium
all look ok
tried entering this code in child function php

add_action( ‘wp’, ‘post_pw_sess_expire’ );
function post_pw_sess_expire() {
if ( isset( $_COOKIE[‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH] ) )
// Setting a time of 0 in setcookie() forces the cookie to expire with the session
setcookie(‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH, ”, 0, COOKIEPAT

got this in a box

( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in C:wampwwwwordpresswp-contentthemesvantage-chile-themefunctions.php on line 21

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Shaun1733

    Hopefully you’ve been able to resolve. If not, login to your server via FTP and download your child theme folder as a backup, then delete it. It’s located at /wp-content/themes/ WordPress will then default to Vantage parent.

    If you’re trying to set the login timeout I’d recommend using a plugin:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=login+timeout

    WILL THAT ALLOW THE PASWORD PAGE TO CLOSE AFTER SOMEONE HAS LEFT IT .

    IM BUILDING THE WEBSITE OM MY OWN COMPUTER FIRST {LOCAL SERVER}
    I JUST DUMPED THE DATBASE AND DELETE THE CHILD THEME AND START AGAIN .
    WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO KEEP A BACK UP OF A WEBSITE SO IF IT GOES WRONG
    I CAN REVERT BACK TO THE BACKUP
    THANKS FOR GETTING BACK TO ME

    Sorry about the caps ( I didn’t see they were on }

    Hi, I Work Here

    No problem :)

    If you make a mistake like that in a child theme you don’t need to start over. If you remove the child theme WordPress will revert to the parent theme and you’ll have access again

    I’d recommend searching for a plugin that can achieve what you’re looking for. I’m not sure if the plugins listed at the link I sent will do what you’re asking but it’s a good place to start. A plugin solution would make things a lot easier.

    (If you build your site locally and want to move the entire site to a live server we recommend using: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)

    So let me get this .
    What ever I change on the child theme is getting changed on the patent theme automatically
    So if I make a mistake like that I can delete a child theme .snd still have all my work.

    But when I put in that code In before in child theme function php I could not get into the WordPress dashboard
    until I dumped database,then it give access to WordPress .
    I then delete child theme as soon as I had access .and mDe another child theme of vantage .

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi :)

    No, that’s not it.

    Whether it’s the parent theme or the child theme, if you make a mistake and can’t enter WordPress, if you remove the theme folder from /wp-content/themes/ WordPress will revert to another theme. This will allow you access to the dashboard again.

    Whatever you change in the child theme is not being changed in the parent theme automatically. If you make a mistake in the child theme and lose WordPress access you can remove the child theme folder to regain access. You must back the child theme up before doing this as you will lose it if you delete it.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Here is a quick overview on child themes:

  8. 8 years, 10 months ago shaun1733

    Ok that’s prefect
    What way would recommend backing up the child theme

  9. 8 years, 10 months ago Andrew Misplon
    Hi, I Work Here

    If you have FTP access to your server you can browse to /wp-content/themes/ and copy the “vantage-child” folder to your desktop. You can do the same with your Hosting File Manager. Each host will have a different file manager, for example:

    http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/how-to-upload-a-file-using-the-file-manager

  10. 8 years, 10 months ago shaun1733

    Thanks I’m still on my local server (my own PC) but it have copied the theme folder
    I could not see a file manger I think that’s because I’m still on my PC not the web host server
    I often would you back up the theme
    And if I creat another back up after I finish my website
    I can just delete the one in the folder
    Probbley try putting on we host server in a week or so ,
    Not in any hurry at moment

    Thanks again

    Hi, I Work Here

    For sure :)

    All the best.

  12. 8 years, 10 months ago shaun1733

    I went to wordpress and went to wp theme click on child theme/copy and paste in desktop
    if anything happens to my wp
    if I copy and paste it back into my new child theme
    will all my work still be up to date

  13. 8 years, 10 months ago Andrew Misplon
    Hi, I Work Here

    That’s right. You now have a backup of your child theme. Changing themes won’t affect any of the content added to WordPress or theme settings or plugin settings.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Sure :) The two that you might consider are:

    1. WP-Members: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-members/
    I like this one because it feels quite lightweight.

    2. S2Member: https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

    Those are two of the more established options.

  16. 8 years, 10 months ago shaun1733

    are they all work with vantage I have been searching
    was there a problem with page builder about some content not been hidden or is that all sorted

  17. 8 years, 10 months ago Andrew Misplon
    Hi, I Work Here

    WP-Members has an issue hiding Page Builder content. The issue should be sorted now.

  18. 8 years, 10 months ago shaun1733

    I have installed s2 member
    One question you might have the answer to
    if I want put imformation on level 1 member that’s only for level one can see this be done
    I want to call one member uk member and the other one irish member but don’t want uk members to see irish content
    And don’t want Irish member seeing uk content ,

  19. 8 years, 10 months ago Andrew Misplon
    Hi, I Work Here

    You might need to dive into the S2Member documentation and forum for this question. Sorry, I’ve carried out a basic setup of the plugin but haven’t built a site or worked with it beyond that.

  20. 8 years, 10 months ago shaun1733

    Cheers thanks
    Can you recommend a plugin to upload a site from a local server to main server
    Thanks again for all your help

  21. 8 years, 10 months ago Andrew Misplon
    Hi, I Work Here

    Definitely. We highly recommend:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

    You need to create the database on your server and enter those details correctly into the Duplicator interface. That’s not the entire process but it is the most technical it gets.

    Hope you have a smooth move. Don’t delete local, nice to have as a backup :)
