   content/themes/openhouse_standard_version/functions.php on line 2438
 * I have access to the files/code via Go Daddy.

 * Where did you download this theme from? You’ll need to ask them for help with
   this as commercial themes aren’t supported here. You can deactivate it and regain
   access to the site by renaming the theme’s folder –
 *     ```
       wp-content
           themes
               openhouse_standard_versionHOLD
       ```

 * [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) into your site (or whatever file
   management application your host provides) & rename the wp-content/themes/openhouse_standard_version
   folder to automatically activate the default theme.
 * Why is the site using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site
   may now have been hacked as a result? What is the site’s domain name?

 * EDIT – cross posted – you can rename it anything.
 * See what I posted above – you will need to use FTP or other file manager your
   host provides to get access to the site files on the server. Looks like the site
   is hosted on GoDaddy, so this may be helpful:

 * I’m still having the error below for bobandsusierealestate.com, no-one seems 
   to be able to give me a clear answer…I have access to the FTP files via Go Daddy,
   can anyone please help?? This is why WordPress should have phone support…
 * Issue:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/62/6899462/html/wp-
   content/themes/openhouse_standard_version/functions.php on line 2438
