 * Hi,
 * I tried to alter the functions.php file to change the password text (outlined
   [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Password_Protection#Customize_the_Protected_Text)
 * That took the site offline so I reuploaded the original file (even also downloaded
   the ‘factory version’ from the wordpress site) via ftp and it still comes with
   the error:
 * > ( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /mnt/webdata1/webs/au.exeter.
   > ac.uk/docs/eusac/wp-content/themes/skt-full-width/functions.php on line 294
 *  … there isn’t even a ‘<‘ on that line
 * The site is [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functionsphp-parse-error-1/au.exeter.ac.uk/eusac?output_format=md).
