 * I have absolutly no idea what to do. My site is [gamerthoughts.net](http://gamerthoughts.net)
   and I can’t log in and when I go to my site it say this:
 * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/95/11662995/html/
   wp-content/themes/magazine-basic/functions.php on line 730`
 * I contacted GoDaddy my host, and they showed me this is wrong and said I would
   have to come here: This is what they gave me
 *     ```
       }<?php
       /**
        * Register our sidebars and widgetized areas.
        *
        */
       function arphabet_widgets_init() {
   
           register_sidebar( array(
               'name' => 'Home right sidebar',
               'id' => 'home_right_1',
               'before_widget' => '<div>',
               'after_widget' => '</div>',
               'before_title' => '<h2 class="rounded">',
               'after_title' => '</h2>',
           ) );
       }
       add_action( 'widgets_init', 'arphabet_widgets_init' );
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Please help! I when I go to file manager in godaddy, I can get to my theme magazine
   basic, but I can’t click on functions.php it just has the text and has a blue
   scroll next to it. I’m really freaking out right now. I know nothing about coding!

 * Did you modify this file? You can download a new copy of the theme to your local
   computer here:
 * [http://wordpress.org/themes/magazine-basic](http://wordpress.org/themes/magazine-basic)
 * Then replace that file using the file manager.
