 * Hello,
 * I am using the Twenty Twelve theme. I recently tried to add a code to my functions.
   php file and got this error message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in …/public_html/mcdonaldsmarket/
   wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/functions.php on line 516
 * Not sure what happened. Here’s what I tried to do to fix it thus far:
    1. Copy
   the original code back from a text document 2. Copy the code for theme Twenty
   Twelve from a different site
 * Neither worked. Can someone help me here? 🙁

 * Figured it out. I downloaded a fresh version of the theme and uploaded the functions.
   php file to my file manager to replace the old one … in case anyone wanted to
   know. 😉
