 * I have an error code displaying and I can no longer access my website at all
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /home/leylac/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/leylas-edits/functions.php on line 4
 * There is no way for me to log in to change this and even non-admins can no longer
   access my website. I am quite new to wordpress so would appreciate any help! 
   Thanks

 * Hello,
    what did you put in your child-theme functions.php?
 * In order to revert your changes you need to access to your server, ftp or cpanel
   and remove/rename/amend that file.
 * Did this help?

 * Hi,
 * I added code to remove the post-meta on my blog. The error code appeared straight
   away so I removed it and uploaded the file again but this error persisted and
   now I can’t log in to wordpress at all and my site is down. I host via GoDaddy
   and have tried to access the cpanel and it says this webpage is not available!
   Please tell me I haven’t lost everything?!

 * Hello,
    well probably you made some typos adding that code. Anyway you can remove
   that file. Which webpage isn’t available? GoDaddy page? So it’s a GoDaddy issue,
   maybe it’s just a temporary one. You should contact them for that.
 * Nope you haven’t lost everything. 😉

 * GoDaddy seems fine until I click manage in my webhosting section, then it tells
   me the webpage has timedout. Hopefully this is a GoDaddy error and nothing to
   do with my site and I can try and fix this later! Phew!

 * I just realised that I can’t get into the webhosting page on GoDaddy because ‘
   the website may be down’, which is it. So what now??

    Contact them they
   will help you 😉

 * It worked! I have taken the time to learn how to use FTP so I just deleted the
   file from there and my website is back up and running [http://www.themotivationproject.com/](http://www.themotivationproject.com/)
   thank you for your help 🙂
