 * Hi Guys,
 * I have tried adding some social buttons to my website via the functions.php, 
   once I had done so I started to receive an error message from my dashboard and
   my front end at [http://www.illestclothing.com](http://www.illestclothing.com)
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/hasf/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/merchant-commerce/functions.php on line 88
 * If someone could please help me resolve this.
 * Thank you,
    Brandon

 * Could you post the contents of line 88?
    Remember to wrap your code in backticks
   or the (code) button above your post.

 * Hi Andrew,
 * I can no longer access any part of my website as it only displays this error 
   message.
    I am not sure what to do, any suggestions?
 * Thanks,
    Brandon
