 * copy the contents of functions.php in your editor. Go to pastebin.com, start 
   a new paste. Paste. Save. Get the URL. Copy. Paste here.

 * It does not allow me to log into the WP-admin (into here: [http://binaryoptionjudge.com/wp-login.php](http://binaryoptionjudge.com/wp-login.php))
 * I did what you said and it is giving me the option to download the file form 
   the pastebin.com and it saves it in .txt file
 * How do I get the URL?

 * Do you have access to your site via FTP or the host control panel? if so,
 * 1) download /home/content/n3pnexwpnas02_data01/57/3399757/html/wp-content/themes/
   gonzo/functions.php
 * 2) Open the file with Notepad. CTRL-A, CTRL-C
 * 3) go to gist.github.com,
 * 4) paste in what you copied in Notepad.
 * 5) Click “create secret gist”.
 * 6) Copy the address of that page from the top of your browser.
 * 7) Paste that in here.

 * One last idea:
 * Under APPEARANCE -> EDITOR, open functions.php, select all, copy, and then paste
   into pastebin or gist.
 * That error didn’t just create itself; were you trying to edit the file?

 * This was the code I tried to implement and somehow got that error:
    <!– Begin
   Cookie Consent script [http://cookiescript.info/](http://cookiescript.info/) –
   > <script type=”text/javascript”> window.cookieconsent_options = {“message”:”
   This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website”,”
   dismiss”:”Got it!”,”learnMore”:”More info”,”link”:null,”theme”:”dark-bottom”};
   var cookieconsent_id = ‘a2f45c5a-63bd-42bc-bbbe-0c87f16463cd’;</script>

   min.js”></script>
 * <noscript>[Cookie consent script](http://cookiescript.info/)</noscript>
    <!– 
   End Cookie Consent script –>
 * The thing Steve is that I cannot access the funciotn.php because they are here:
   [http://binaryoptionjudge.com/wp-admin](http://binaryoptionjudge.com/wp-admin)
   and every time I try to connet there I get that error message, every time.
 * Please help

 * That’s not valid stuff to have put in functions.php ad it’s NOT PHP code. So 
   you broke your site.
 * You say you cannot log into your hosting panel. Call GoDaddy support because 
   you need to get into that file and undo the changes you made or replace it with
   a backup copy or download a clean copy of your theme and replace it with the 
   functions.php from that.
