 * Hello to all the coders, i am very stumped to what the problem could be on my
   site. I’m getting this error in my functions.php file (Parse error: syntax error,
   unexpected ‘}’ in /home/shineti2/public_html/wp-content/themes/Shine Time 7 Theme/
   functions.php on line 42) and i cant figure out that the problem is. I’ve taken
   things out put things in, deleted everything and still no go. So i would greatly
   appreciate your help in this matter.
 * here is the code

 * At line 33 you have commented out the function. You either need to:
 * 1. Remove the comment
 * 2. comment out the entire function using:
 *     ```
       /*
   
       */
       ```
   
 * Does this make sense?

 * Hi jasonskinner88, skinnnerartstudio.com is not a registered domain. Did you 
   type it in correctly?
 * If you don’t have access to wp-admin, you’ll need to use FTP or some type of 
   File Manager to edit your files. It’s best to contact your web hosting provider
   if you’re not sure how to manually edit your files.
