# Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}'

 * I am inexperienced in editing websites, however, I have manually tried getting
   rid of dummy text box on header (frontpage) of theme Cloriato.
 * What I did was deleting some text from
    [http://sunset-comfort.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=front-page.php&theme=cloriato-lite&scrollto=807&updated=true](http://sunset-comfort.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=front-page.php&theme=cloriato-lite&scrollto=807&updated=true),
   which I tought would do, but it gave me an error on live 37, so I pasted the 
   text back (I had kept it on a notepad just in case.) Now I am getting error: 
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/sunsetco/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/cloriato-lite/front-page.php on line 32
 * my site:
    [http://sunset-comfort.com/](http://sunset-comfort.com/)
 * please help 🙂

 * Some minutes before I got your last reply I had found and activated theme ‘WP-
   Creativix’ by looking up at [http://sunset-comfort.com/wp-admin/theme-install.php](http://sunset-comfort.com/wp-admin/theme-install.php),
   I just searched it by the word ‘portfolio.’ It was installed and activated without
   paying any fees. I guess my question is whether it is supported in this forum
   in case of trouble.
 * As to the original post drive…the issue has been resolved, since I am not using
   the issued theme (Cloriato Lite) anymore. Thank you.

 * Pretty sure I spotted that theme’s developer responding to support issues only
   yesterday. To increase the chances of a quicker response, always make sure that
   you post in the theme’s dedicated forum (reached via the theme’s page in the 
   Theme Repository). Tagging your topic with the theme’s folder name wouldn’t go
   amiss either.

 * For example, if you visit that theme’s page here:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/wp-creativix](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/wp-creativix)
 * You can see that there is a “Support” tab at the top. That shows you all the 
   support questions specifically for that theme, and you can leave your own at 
   the bottom of the page, if you can’t find your answers in other people’s questions.
 * Essentially, theme authors who make their themes available on WordPress.org for
   free have their own support area with each theme. For themes not obtained from
   WordPress.org, we recommend going to the theme authors directly, on their own
   sites.
 * Now, Cloriato Lite is indeed a free theme available on this site:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/cloriato-lite](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/cloriato-lite)
 * However, you only said “Cloriato” before, and a Google search for it (yeah, I
   don’t know all the themes individually) led me to believe you were referring 
   to their paid version of the theme. In the future, it helps if you post in the
   proper place, so that the theme authors can receive email notifications and the
   like. If you had gone to the theme’s specific Support page and made your post
   there, then it would have been much more obvious as to which theme you were referring
   to.

 * With specific regards to your original problem, if you edit a file and it causes
   problems, then restore the original file from before you edited it. You can just
   redownload the theme to get a copy of all the original files. The download button
   is on this page:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/cloriato-lite](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/cloriato-lite)
 * And it will give you a zip file of the theme. Replace the front-page.php file
   with the file from the download.
