 * Hi,
 * I’ve run into an issue with the theme. To add a favicon I needed to edit the 
   functions.php file. I added the php code for the favicon, uploaded and received
   error below:
 * “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected…”
 * I managed to copy the functions.php file thereafter but was unable to re-upload
   it.
 * Your assistance would be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Hi playfreecasinobonus
 * To return to the original, the part that you have changed, FTP access is required.
   To proceed functions.php content is correct, you will be able to open the dashboard.
 * Thank you.
