 * Hi I added the following code to the functions.php page and clicked view page.
 * //call a function just before the query runs to fetch posts
    add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’
   change_post_type’);
 * function change_post_type($var) {
    if(is_category()) { $var->query_vars[‘post_type’]
   = ‘any’; //it will change the value to ‘any’ from the default value of ;post’;//
   can be any, attachment, page, post, or revision. //’any’ retrieves any type except
   revisions. } }
 * I got the following error!
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare change_post_type() (previously declared in /home/
   julwre/WiredVoltage.com/wp-content/plugins/map-categories-to-pages/map-categories-
   to-pages.php:72) in /home/julwre/WiredVoltage.com/wp-content/themes/ifeature/
   functions.php on line 349
 * Now I am unable to access the site or any of the functions in dashboard so undo
   the changes.
 * Am I able to access the functions.php page another way so I can undo the changes???
 * Many thanks
 * The blog I need help with is [http://www.wiredvoltage.com](http://www.wiredvoltage.com).

 * Can you just FTP to the server using credentials provided by your hosting provider(
   possibly DreamHosts)?
