 * Hello.
    I recently moved from wordpress.com to wordpress.org with Bluehost. Everything
   has gone relatively smoothly until I foolishly edited the PHP for the WP-Stats
   plugin, made a mistake, and now everything is locked up. I cannot log in, view
   the dashboard, view my website, or even fix my mistake. Everywhere I try to log
   in it says
 * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home2/goofball/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/wp-stats-dashboard/classes/widget/WPSDTotalViewsWidget.php
   on line 15`
 * See for yourself: [http://goofballcommittee.com/wp-admin](http://goofballcommittee.com/wp-admin)
 * I know what I did wrong but I still can’t figure out how to fix this. How can
   I fix the problem if I can’t even view anything? I’ve looked in the forums before
   posting this but I really can’t get a clear answer on how to even begin to fix
   this. I still can’t wrap my head around how one little teeny edit, trying to 
   add the word “clicks” to the PHP of the widget could take down my entire website.
 * If anyone can explain how to go about this problem I would very greatly appreciate
   it.
 * Thank you!

 * Log onto your server by FTP or SSh and delete the plugin. Then you can re-upload
   it.
