 * Hello,
    First time user, installing v2.0.4…
 * Here’s my URL:
    [http://www.spanish101.org/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.spanish101.org/blog/wp-admin/install.php)
 * I’m getting this message:
 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/e/d/w/edwardspek/html/
   blog/wp-includes/functions-formatting.php on line 90
 * Help, anyone?

 * That sounds like a corrupted file.
    I’d upload a _fresh copy_ of the file… or
   of the whole wp-includes folder.

 * Sounds like the file didn’t make it intact. Try re-uploading.

 * reopload it if u havent changed the script, it’s impossible to get that eerror
   if your file was completely uploaded.

 * Okay, resolved!
 * I’m a MS Frontpage user, which means I’m used to importing files/folders into
   the app before I can upload it.
 * I guess Frontpage did something ‘funny’ to some of those files in my ‘wordpress’
   folder, because a straight FTP re-upload (outside of Frontpage) of the original
   files resolved the parse error.
 * Thanks for your prompt support moshu, Yosemite and J2daB.
 * WordPress is great.

 * (for future reference) Never use FP for WP files!
