Hello, I am new to PHP. I was working on customizing my wordpress blog and ran into trouble when I was editing in the functions.php template. I changed something minor and then I got this message: After seeing this, I changed the code back to the original. However, this did not fix the problem. The same error message appeared. I have no idea how to proceed from here. This is the original code which is currently causing the error: <?php // Produces a list of pages in the header without whitespace -- er, I mean negative space. function sandbox_globalnav() { echo '<div id="menu"><ul><li class="page_item"><a href="'. get_settings('home') .'/" title="'. get_bloginfo('name') .'" rel="home">Home</a></li>'; $menu = wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&echo=0'); // Params for the page list in header.php echo str_replace(array("\r", "\n", "\t"), '', $menu); echo '<li class="page_item"><a href="'. get_bloginfo_rss('rss2_url') .'">RSS</a></li></ul></div>'; } // Generates semantic classes for BODY element function sandbox_body_class( $print = true ) { global $wp_query, $current_user; // It's surely a WordPress blog, right? $c = array('wordpress'); // Applies the time- and date-based classes (below) to BODY element sandbox_date_classes(time(), $c); // Generic semantic classes for what type of content is displayed is_home() ? $c[] = 'home' : null; is_archive() ? $c[] = 'archive' : null; is_date() ? $c[] = 'date' : null; is_search() ? $c[] = 'search' : null; is_paged() ? $c[] = 'paged' : null; is_attachment() ? $c[] = 'attachment' : null; is_404() ? $c[] = 'four04' : null; // CSS does not allow a digit as first character // Special classes for BODY element when a single post if ( is_single() ) { $postID = $wp_query->post->ID; the_post(); // Adds 'single' class and class with the post ID $c[] = 'single postid-' . $postID; // Adds classes for the month, day, and hour when the post was published if ( isset($wp_query->post->post_date) ) sandbox_date_classes(mysql2date('U', $wp_query->post->post_date), $c, 's-'); // Adds category classes for each category on single posts if ( $cats = get_the_category() ) foreach ( $cats as $cat ) $c[] = 's-category-' . $cat->slug; // Adds tag classes for each tags on single posts if ( $tags = get_the_tags() ) foreach ( $tags as $tag ) $c[] = 's-tag-' . $tag->slug; // Adds MIME-specific classes for attachments if ( is_attachment() ) { $the_mime = get_post_mime_type(); $boring_stuff = array("application/", "image/", "text/", "audio/", "video/", "music/"); $c[] = 'attachment-' . str_replace($boring_stuff, "", "$the_mime"); } // Adds author class for the post author $c[] = 's-author-' . sanitize_title_with_dashes(strtolower(get_the_author_login())); rewind_posts(); } // Author name classes for BODY on author archives else if ( is_author() ) { $author = $wp_query->get_queried_object(); $c[] = 'author'; $c[] = 'author-' . $author->user_nicename; } // Category name classes for BODY on category archvies else if ( is_category() ) { $cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object(); $c[] = 'category'; $c[] = 'category-' . $cat->slug; } // Tag name classes for BODY on tag archives else if ( is_tag() ) { $tags = $wp_query->get_queried_object(); $c[] = 'tag'; $c[] = 'tag-' . $tags->slug; // Does not work; however I try to return the tag I get a false.

Thanks for your reply. I wish that I could try your suggestion, but I am no longer able to log in to my wordpress site admin account. I have no idea why, but I can not even get in there to try and edit the code. What could be causing this? I have made code mistakes before but they never caused me to be unable to even get access to my site. What in the world could be going on? Any idea how to fix it?
Right, but even if I reset my password I would have nowhere to enter in the new one. This is what I get when I go to the login page: http://www.aaronkenter.com/wp-admin/
As it turns out I do not have FTP access... I have been looking around in wordpress forums and elsewhere and a lot of people talk about being hacked. Could this have happened to me? (By the way, thanks a lot for your responses. On my own I have no idea!)
Actualy without having ftp access its very tough to fix it ask ur host to give u ftp access ..who is ur host btw ?
Yes they did. Can I access it from there? (Bear in mind I am an idiot with these things a long with being new to them. Sorry for the nuisance.)
Yes ur ftp details are same as ur cpanel details.. or you can just login into the file manager into the cpanel and edit the file from there
You my friend are amazing! You saved the day! I suppose if I had any idea what I was doing I would not have needed to bother you with this, but anyway I can't thank you enough for your help. I went in through the file manager and edited the code in accordance with your suggestion and it worked brilliantly! It all works now Thanks again!
