 * Hi,
 * I’m a beginning WordPress user and getting this error for my wordpress site:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/22/9061722/html/wp-
   content/themes/clarity/header.php on line 95
 * I’m using the Clairy Theme if that helps. Any help would be great, thanks!

 * [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) into your site (or whatever file
   management application your host provides) & delete the wp-content/themes/clarity
   folder.

 * Thanks for the reply Esmi.
 * Will this reset my whole site?
 * What if I want to keep all the content on my site and just reset the header.php
   file?
 * Thanks!

 * It will reactivate the default WordPress theme. Your current theme seems to be
   broken.

 * Sorry I’m so new at this; but just to clarify, I won’t lose any of my content?

 * No. Your content is stored in your database. Only your widgets will be lost.

 * Sorry to bother, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to download a fresh
   version of the Clarity theme. Can I do this from the wordpress admin?

 * There isn’t a theme of that name in [http://wordpress.org/themes/](http://wordpress.org/themes/)
   so you will need to find out where you originally downloaded it from first.

 * It looks like ThemeTrust.

 * I spotted that one but also saw another theme with the same name from another
   vendor/supplier. If you’re sure it’s the ThemeTrust. version, download a fresh
   copy as a .zip file to your computer. Then you’ll be able to re-upload it via
   Appearance -> Themes -> Install Themes -> Upload.

 * Thanks so much, fixed!
 * On another note, I’ve been trying to get the homepage slideshow for that theme
   to work but can’t figure it out. I feel like I’ve exhausted the web looking for
   answers to my problem with it. I can’t figure out how to have slideshow on just
   the home page above the main content.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks again for the fix!
