 * Can someone please help walk me through fixing my site? I have a Parse Error 
   and a vertical space issue. I was told to get an FTP and find a file to change
   but, I dont know how to find it. I am completely lost now.

 * The file you are after is located in:
    root directory of your server -> wp-content-
   > themes -> gdvintage -> elements -> widgets.php Edit the file, go to line number
   103 and paste it here, please

 * Okay, I’m in the FTP and followed to the filename ‘widgets.php’ but don’t see
   where I should be looking for a line number. When I click on it, it says “the
   target file already exists.” should I be working from the cPanel at this point?
   It gives me the option to Rename or Overwrite. Should I be doing any of this?

 * It gives me the option to rename or overwrite and some other options?

 * Sorry for being late, I was sleeping 😀
    You need to download the file to your
   computer, open it with a code editor like Notepad++ , search for line 103, find
   the pesky “.” that is causing the syntax error and then save and upload the file
   on your server, overwriting the previous one
