 * Hee,
 * Someone else made a website for me but now it’s not working anymore and I have
   fix it. He gave te following error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
   in line 71 so there has to be an error in this part of the code:
 * /**
    * For developers: WordPress debugging mode. * * Change this to true to enable
   the display of notices during development. * It is strongly recommended that 
   plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG * in their development environments.*/
   define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
 * Somebody who can help?

 * Do you remember what was being changed at the time? We’re dealing with a sensitive
   file so please be extra careful when posting code here.

 * Can you post here lines 68 to 73, but make sure that those lines don’t have sensitive
   information such as database credentials or SALT keys.

 * Are you sure those are lines 68 to 73? I don’t see any syntax errors there and
   that appears to be 10 lines of code.

 * These are lines 68 to 78 more than you asked but stil the right lines. so lines
   68 to 73 are these:
    * It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers
   use WP_DEBUG * in their development environments. */ define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
