 * Hello guys,
 * Whenever I try to edit the function.php file of my theme. I get an 505 Error,
   no matter what function I add it will always give me that error.
 * What can really be causing that?
 * Thanks

 * First off, try switching to the unedited default, core-bundled Theme (such as
   Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen or Twenty Fourteen) for a moment using the WP 
   dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your
   admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s
   folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using
   via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Alternately,
   you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site
   to use it.
