 * I wanted to change my WordPress theme and I downloaded the Arras theme from the
   WordPress theme options. A few minutes after I tried to upload arras.1.5.0.1.
   zip file and since my blog is displaying the following error message:
 * **Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’, expecting ‘)’ in /nfs/c04/h05/mnt/
   84766/domains/sangelique.com/html/wp-content/themes/arras/library/admin/options.
   php on line 216**
 * I can’t log back in. I can’t do anything. How do I remove this theme?

 * Try switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in
   wp-content/themes using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever
   file management application your host provides.

 * I had the page reset because it was a PHP error and I couldn’t log in or make
   any sort of changes to the site. Thanks
