Parse error: need help fixing

    Hi,
    I have a site built in Word press with a custom theme. Today I added Buddypress and was having some trouble seeing the Group section and then realized it was there just that my background is black…so I added white text to some of the coding which worked for some of it, and then I got in trouble with this message:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home1/discovs1/public_html/wp-content/themes/carrie-love-custom/functions.php on line 6

    And now it won’t let me on the functions to fix anything so not sure what to do and its taken most of my site down. I should mention I’m not a web designer at all but have been doing my own updates to the site and thought I could do this (!) any help would be much appreciated, I’ve been at this for many hours now! :))

    -make sure there is no white space / blank line in the functions.php

    -alternately, try replacing the old functions.php with a fresh copy
    via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides

    Thank you, I managed to fix that issue and now have a new one, it’s saying:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home1/discovs1/public_html/wp-content/themes/carrie-love-custom/functions.php:947) in /home1/discovs1/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 934

    I went on the ftp to check these pages but can’t figure out what to change. Now all the pages on my website show up blank except the home page and Word press won’t let me on past the error message so I’m not sure what to do next. Any advice appreciated. thank you!
