 * My website won’t work and can’t log into WordPress site since updating my plugins
   last night. This error shows up on both my home page and my login page for WordPress.
   
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/content/
   k/n/o/knowybones/html/mfbcontent/blog/wp-content/plugins/pinterest-widgets/admin/
   class-pinterest-widgets-admin.php on line 48
 * I’m not a techie so any layman English help would be appreciated. Thanks

 * If you can’t access your admin pages, you’ll need to use an [FTP client](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)(
   like FileZilla), or your host’s cpanel (or File Manager) and navigate to the 
   plugin on the server. (File Manager is easiest if you don’t have ftp set up.)
 * In your WP installation there, find `wp-content/plugins` and delete only the 
   pinterest-widgets plugin folder. Hopefully that should allow you to get back 
   into WP admin. You can try re-installing the plugin if you like, since you now
   know how to get rid of it if it still doesn’t work.
 * If this isn’t something you’re comfortable doing yourself, your web host support
   would probably do this for you, or at least help you set up FTP access.
