    Hello,
    I was receiving the “cheating uh” dialog box anytime I tried to upload media to the Discover theme and attempted to correct the issue with the fix on this website.
    http://www.techknot.com/how-to-fix-cheatin-uh-error-in-wordpress/

    I edited the open medialibrary-uploader.php file and now I receive the following message when I try to login:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW, expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/44/11337144/html/wp-content/themes/discover/admin/options-medialibrary-uploader.php on line 169

    Please help! I have no idea on how to even get back into my dashboard to try to fix the code.
    The site is

    Thank you,

    Never edit code via the built in editor. Get a code editor program and use ftp for file transfers. Also having a local install using wamp helps a bunch.

    Good luck

    to get back into the admin, try one of the following:

    – use FTP to rename your theme’s folder name to something different; this should activate the default theme and allow you back into the admin, where you can then repair the broken file.

    – use FTP to replace the broken /themes/discover/admin/options-medialibrary-uploader.php file with an unedited original from your theme;
