# Parse Error after Editing custom-css.php

 * Hey,
    I tried to edit the custom-css.php on my website. My edit did not work,
   so I immediately deleted what I had added so it was identical to what it looked
   like before I touched it. Now, I get this error when I try to load my website
   or any page related to it:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘, expecting ‘&’ or T_VARIABLE in /home/
   content/37/10236837/html/wp-content/themes/virtue/lib/custom-css.php on line 
   2
 * I know that there is no longer a syntax error. I think the problem is that the
   site won’t function enough to allow me to update the file. I’m new to wordpress,
   is there anything I can do to just revert to what my site looked like before 
   I started messing with it? I tried re-downloading the file and copy and pasting
   it in, but I still get the same error. My website is [http://www.gratefulalive.org](http://www.gratefulalive.org),
   any help is greatly appreciated!
 * Dave
