 * I have a problem. I am receiving:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /home/susmad2/peterparker510.com/
   wp-content/themes/MusicMaker/functions/custom-meta-box.php on line 2135
 * Not able to access it at all. What is the work around to fix it? Log into the
   webhost via FTP? It is on Dreamhost.
 * How do i know which line is 2135?
 * Thank you much!!!

 * Can you still login to your wp admin?

 * When did this error occur? What was the last thing you did before noticing the
   error?
 * Musicmaker looks like a commercial theme. If you purchased it, that would be 
   the best place to receive support.

 * I recommend logging into your site via FTP. Locate the Musicmaker folder located
   within wp-content/themes and rename the directory to something else so it gets
   disabled. This will make WordPress use the default theme instead and you should
   be able to log in to your site afterwards. Then, contact the developers of the
   MusicMaker theme and tell them your issue. They’ll be able to fix it and steer
   you in the right direction.

 * [@jeff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeff/), he might get a white screen
   if he will do that.

 * Yes. You need to login in your admin to fix the white screen.

 * [@eugenealegiojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenealegiojo/), I thought
   it was a common troubleshooting technique to rename the theme directory giving
   you trouble to automatically have the default theme activated. It shouldn’t give
   him a white screen of death if the issue is strictly related to the MusicMaker
   theme. It should allow him to login to the admin with Twentyfourteen activated.
