 * Hi,
 * I tried to change the theme editor adding this: <?php add_thickbox(); ?> to functions.
   php.
 * But now this message appears: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/
   content/p3pnexwpnas03_data02/33/2340433/html/wp-content/themes/quest/functions.
   php on line 421
 * I can not open my website, neither my administration page to undonde the changes
   in functions.php.
 * What can I do, please?
 * Thanks

 * Hey, Paul!
 *  Easy solution. FTP to your site. Then, go to the wp-content folder, then the
   themes folder, then the folder for your theme. Copy the functions.php to your
   PC, change it with a text editor (take out your change(s)), then copy it back.
   You should be back in business then.

 * Thanks for your quick answer, Augustin.
 * How can I FTP to my website? I tried to do it but the page is not available. 
   I do not know if I am doing something wrong.
 * Thank you
