If that’s not possible, try switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application your host provides. * Finally, as you are using a non-WPORG theme, you will seek support for this theme from the theme’s developers – paid or otherwise. We only support themes downloaded from wordpress.org here. * Thread Starter [danmaj1990](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danmaj1990/) * (@danmaj1990) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_function-5/#post-3674730) * Oh, I thought it was a general wordpress problem, not individual to my theme. * I tried pasting in the original .php file but it still comes up with the same error? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_function-5/#post-3674735) * If you read the error message, you’ll see that it’s clearly an issue in your theme’s functions.php file. * Thread Starter [danmaj1990](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danmaj1990/) * (@danmaj1990) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_function-5/#post-3674737) * I know that… But I’m a complete novice when it comes to .php, hence why I am on here. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_function-5/#post-3674743) * As it stands, all I can suggest is that you try switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “- old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. That should get you back into your site. Then delete your old theme & try [looking for a better theme](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/). * [amcarr11890](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amcarr11890/) * (@amcarr11890) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_function-5/#post-3675014) * Hi! * I am new to wordpress, the website I’m running was passed down to me.
