 * Hi guys,
 * I am trying to learn to build my website from scratch. I installed “Astra” theme
   and activated it. Then it popped out “
 * **Parse error**: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in **/www/wwwroot/yizhongdie.com/
   wp-content/themes/astra/inc/core/class-astra-admin-settings.php** on line **248**
 * There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin
   email inbox for instructions.
 * [Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/)”
 * Now above message showed up when I go to “dashboard” and “appearance”. I cannot
   use WordPress at all.
 * I don’t know about coding, that’s why I choose a theme to start. It makes me 
   so confused and I do not know how to fix it. Anyone can give me some instruction?
 * Really appreciate it if anyone can reply this post.

 * Hi [@yizhongdieclothing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yizhongdieclothing/)
 * Looks like this is an Astra-related issue.
   This should be asked in the dedicated
   theme-forum ([https://wordpress.org/support/theme/astra/](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/astra/))
   The theme-developers are more likely to get back to you there 😀Have a wonderful
   day/AK
