    Ok, to start… I am somewhat computer savvy, but not good with code etc.
    So, in order to get a better speed score on my site, I found directions on how to Remove Query strings from Static Resources by entering this string of code into my theme’s function file (Appearance > Editor > Functions.php.

    Code is :
    function _remove_script_version( $src ){
    $parts = explode( ‘?ver’, $src );
    return $parts[0];
    }
    add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
    add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );

    After I inserted that and clicked update, my website ‘broke’… just keep getting a message:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /home/d4niel/artwork-photography.com/wp-content/themes/krisztian/functions.php on line 22

    So I erased the code, but I still get the same error even though basically undid my paste so… nothing should be different.

    Here is the code now:

    <?php
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ){

    // This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in 2 locations.
    add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_menus’ );
    function register_my_menus() {
    register_nav_menus(
    array(
    ‘menu-1’ => __( ‘Menu 1’ )
    )
    );
    }

    }
    ?>

    And my website is :
    artwork-photography.com/

    Please help

  • Do you have a backup of your theme files? You need to replace that file with a backup copy using FTP or Cpanel – since your admin access is not functional.

    Thanks for the quick response;
    So my friend originally set up this website for me. Since then, I’ve able to do all the tweaking and editing and content management myself… but only through the wordpress admin site.
    I’m not sure how he originally wrote the code or if he has a backup.
    Is that the only way to fix this? It seems strange that adding some code and then taking it back out would make my entire site not function.
    Let me know if there is some other way; meanwhile I’ll get a hold of the original developer.

    I’m guessing that the code is not actually changed back – since the error is showing up on the front side of your site. Once the site has gone down, you can’t change that code back from the admin area. You’ll need to access the site using FTP or Cpanel to fix that problem.

    Ahh… ok. I think that was the issue WPyogi. Thanks.
    My developer went in and changed the code.
    Thanks a lot for the tips.
