Getting the famous "syntax error, unexpected "<" in functions.php"

I'm in the beginning of developing a WordPress site, and just made a quick change to functions.php yesterday to my Portfolio Press functions.php file, "widgetizing" it with the "register" statement, and ended up getting this famous error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /homepages/9/d132354594/htdocs/4TalonsDesign.com/wp-content/themes/portfolio-press/functions.php on line 224. Then, since this error was even preventing me from logging into WordPress and my site, I re-FTP'ed a backup functions.php file, and still continue to get the error. Here is my functions.php file: <?php

add_custom_background(); Thanks in advance for any help. I really don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall the theme again, and re-implement customizations. Regarding that issue though, I do have a question: Would I have to create "Pages" from scratch again, or are they are saved in a backed-up wp-content folder? Again, thanks for any solutions to this. The site was successfully displaying until about 4:00 yesterday afternoon, and like I said, I can't even log in anymore!

 

you should upload the file here not paste the code

 

Sorry about that. I wasn't sure if I should upload a file or paste the code - this is the first time I've actually used the forums, so I'll know for the future when I am asking for members to look at code. Hopefully, somebody has a solution to the code problem. Thanks.

 

Have you upload it?

 

Here's a ".txt" version of the functions.php file to check out. Thanks!

 

I think that the problem is in portfoliopress_content_nav function. You should not open and close <?php tags there
