 * Hi!
 * Suddenly I got the message:
 * **Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /home/spandabe/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/modularity-lite/functions.php on line 72**
 * when opening my site [http://www.spandabel.dk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-functionsphp-please-help/www.spandabel.dk?output_format=md)
 * I only changed things in header.php, not in functions.php!
 * This is how it looks in my functions.php around line 72:
 *     ```
       // The header business begins here:
   
       // No CSS, just IMG call
       define('HEADER_TEXTCOLOR', '');
       define('HEADER_IMAGE', '');
       define('HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', 950);
       define('HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', 250);
       define( 'NO_HEADER_TEXT', true );
   
       function modularity_admin_header_style() {
       ?>
       <style type="text/css">
       #headimg {
       	height: <?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>px;
       	width: <?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Does anybody have an idea what has happened??
    Thanks. – Anne
 * btw – the theme I’m using is Modularity Lite

 * Hello,
 * Could you post all the code from your `functions.php` and `header.php` files?(
   Use [pastebin](http://pastebin.com/), or similar).

 * Thanks for responding.
    I’ve never used pastebin, but here’s a link to the functions.
   php [http://pastebin.com/t167ju6M](http://pastebin.com/t167ju6M)
 * I cannot get to the header.php. In fact I’m “locked” in the functions.php, everytime
   I update I get the error, and the only thing I can do then is to go back in my
   browser to the functions.php

 * Hello,
    You may access to your header.php using ftp & modify the file .

 * There doesn’t appear to an error in that code.
 * As Abdul suggests, you should be able to access the `functions.php` and `header.
   php` files via FTP, or by using the file manager in your hosting control panel.

 * There are several errors in the `include_search_box` function in your `functions.
   php` file. That function should probably be as follows:
 *     ```
       function include_search_box( $items, $args ) {
       	// only display search box on our primary menu
       	if( 'primary' === $args->theme_location )
       		$items .= '<li class="menu-item menu-item-search">' . get_search_form( false ) . '</li>';
   
       	return $items;
       }
   
       add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'include_search_box', 10, 2 );
       ```

 * **You just made my day!!!** That search-box wasn’t even supposed to be there –
   or anywhere.
    Thank you so much for your guidance and help!
