 * Hi everyone,
 * I installed Bootstrap updates and within seconds after activating got bumped 
   off my website with this message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home2/kochwrit/public_html/
   meritkoch/wp-content/plugins/bootstrap-3-shortcodes/bootstrap-shortcodes.php 
   on line 1959
 * Now I can’t even sign into the dashboard without my browser showing me this same
   message. I know that it has to be related with the installation error, but can’t
   even sign in to use an older version of the working site.
 * I’m a musician/actor with little tech experience. Anybody got an idea on how 
   I can get my website back?

 * Thanks so much, Rajan! While I haven’t finished the process, you directed me 
   to the right place. Super easy once I knew where to look!
