 * so I customized this theme (Customizr by Themes and Co.) for a while, pretty 
   much all day. and about 20 minutes ago, I tried modifying the main-footer-footer.
   php file to add something, and I get this syntax error now, it read “Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/content/94/12156594/html/wp/wp-content/
   themes/customizr/parts/class-footer-footer_main.php on line 127” when I try to
   open any page. I simply want to be able to navigate around and troubleshoot this.
   I repeat, every link I try to click in my WP admin panel, I get an error… please
   help someone.
 * here’s a link to my site (currently with the error): [http://tedxoaklanduniversity.com/wp/](http://tedxoaklanduniversity.com/wp/)

 * I should add, I was originally trying to foolishly modify the css in the footer
   without sufficient knowledge, and obviously messed something up. *sigh* I could
   build another site, but… dang. Please, someone, if you can help, I’d really appreciate
   it. Thanks.

 * That should be a pretty quick fix, actually.
 * If you are confident that modifying the main-footer-footer.php file caused the
   issue, you might try just uploading a fresh copy of that file using your ftp 
   client.
 * If that fails, you can use your ftp client to rename or remove the customizr 
   theme folder and then log back into your site (try tedxoaklanduniversity.com/
   wp/wp-login.php) and the default WordPress theme should take over.

 * ClaytonJames,
 * thanks for the quick reply. I actually just contacted my host, I didn’t set up
   an ftp client on my end, but I explained the issue, and gave him the (pre-modified
   main-footer-footer php file), and hopefully that will fix it. I’ll update this
   thread if it does.. it’s just a bummer how touchy the css is… on the other hand,
   I should learn more and thus should’ve know better haha… again, I’ll update this
   thread if that fixes it… thanks for the quick response..
