 * I do not know what I have done but I am now getting an error:
 * **Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /home/norvell/
   public_html/wp-content/themes/norvell/admin/theme-options.php on line 205**
 * All I was trying to do was change an image link within our template and now I
   have managed to crash our entire site….

 * There’s no syntax error in that code you posted [http://www.piliapp.com/php-syntax-check/](http://www.piliapp.com/php-syntax-check/)
 * Do you have FTP access?

 * Yes I do have FTP access…
 * I could not find an error either – it is very strange

 * Rename your theme’s folder so that your theme can be deactivated.

   down at the moment.

 * Your site will be up and running – the “and then” step should be going on at 
   the moment (figuring out what you changed). If you can’t figure it out then ask
   your hosting providers for a backup or the developers of your website for a helping
   hand.

 * Somehow I have gotten fixed, but still no luck changing out a simple image

   your help
