    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘*’ in /home/kamer/public_html/wp-content/themes/hatch/functions.php on line 159

    I am unable to identify this error as line 159 is empty. I tried to delete one section of code as suggested in another support forumn and now entire site is gone. Very frustrating. I have tried to reinstall the original theme “Hatch” and WP will not allow me to do anything without receiving this error over and over.

    ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED PLEASE!

    Download a new copy of the theme to your local computer – then using FTP or other file manager access, replace that file in the theme folder.

    (Don’t panic – your site will be fine 🙂 ).

    Try switching to the default theme by deleting the wp-content/themes/hatch folder using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Then re-upload a fresh copy of the Hatch theme.

    WPyogi — Can I just say THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    I have worked very hard to learn WP on my own and in the past few months I have only had one or two questions which have NEVER been answered correctly on these support forums until YOU! I was literally about to CRY a minute ago! Haha.

    It’s back!

    NOW — If anyone can correctly answer my original question that started this, I will REALLY be happy!

    Do you mind viewing a gallery page? That is what is causing the issues.

    The original theme “Hatch” has a built in “lightbox” feature which wasn’t working the way I wanted so I installed a lightbox plugin that works. Problem is the “fancybox” feature of Hatch causes the error.

    If you click on a thumbnail “two layers open” as example open a thumbnail and then click the x to close and another layer is underneath.

    ANY SUGGESTIONS? Otherwise I am happy with all of the edits I have made to the theme.

    Again thank you both for your help!
