 * Hi,
 * When I try to open my website [http://apartmentsinjaipur.com/](http://apartmentsinjaipur.com/),
   it gives me the following error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in/
   home/u230658498/public_html/wp-content/themes/virtue/functions.php on line 30
 * I was trying to add google analytics code by making some changes in functions.
   php file but created a mess.
 * Confession: a no coder just tried to be oversmart 🙁
 * Thanks
    Ron

 * Hey,
    You should never edit a theme file directly, always go through a child 
   theme. Are you able to undo the changes that were made?

 * Try contacting your host and see if they have a backup. Otherwise you may need
   to do a fresh install.

 * Hey,
    You can also go into the servers cpanel. There you can use the web file
   manager and remove the code you added from there.
