If you can FTP (Filezilla, Cuteftp, etc.) to your site, navigate to the functions.php file in your theme (/home2/ jsilva79/public_html/wp-content/themes/alizee/functions.php) and right-click on the function.php and select edit. It will ask what app to use. If in Windows, use Notepad. If Apple, TextEdit. Remove the code you put in and save. Site should return to normal. * If you don’t FTP, but have access to your File Manager through your hosting account, follow the same path as above. * Thread Starter [jsilva79](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsilva79/) * (@jsilva79) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-489/#post-6892226) * sorry dont take me wrong but cant you kindly explain me how can i get there i am very new on it and i donr know how to get as you say…I downloaded the theme alizee and copie all the content inside functions.php and copie past but dont work it still the some error!(this was before when problem appear) * Thread Starter [jsilva79](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsilva79/) * (@jsilva79) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-489/#post-6892227) * any movement when i change page or enter it show me the some problem. * [neotechnomad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neotechnomad/) * (@neotechnomad) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-489/#post-6892230) * So, don’t panic… this is easily fixed. * You said: * > trying to made couple changings but i thing i just done some thing wrong! ** > after change some code** in this area: Alizee: Theme Functions (**functions. > php**) * To change this code you speak of above – were you in your WordPress Dashboard and went to Appearance > Editor and added some code to your Theme Functions ( functions.php) file? * If so, at the Hosting Service where your site is (such as Godaddy or Bluehost or some other), when you log in to your account, do you see a link that says “ File Manager”? * Thread Starter [jsilva79](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsilva79/) * (@jsilva79) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-489/#post-6892236) * i cant go into wordpress any more dont let me appearing that message all the time! but trying to look for file manager in my hostgate but didnt found yet. * [neotechnomad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neotechnomad/) * (@neotechnomad) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-489/#post-6892239) * Is your host – “HostGator”? * Thread Starter [jsilva79](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsilva79/) * (@jsilva79) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-489/#post-6892245) * yes is * Thread Starter [jsilva79](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsilva79/) * (@jsilva79) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-489/#post-6892247) * any where i go it show me the same message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected‘!’ in /home2/jsilva79/public_html/wp-content/themes/alizee/functions.php on line 234 * [neotechnomad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neotechnomad/) * (@neotechnomad) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-489/#post-6892248) * We will go slow here… * Watch this video ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a5kRk552lA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a5kRk552lA)) and STOP just after he says “Click the GO button”, then post back here that you are in File manager. * These are the same instructions as the video… * 1 – You need to login to HostGator cPanel.
