 * Hi guys,
 * Yesterday I was adding some code in the success-stories.php using the wordpress
   editor. I saved the changes and then deleted the changes once I realised it didn’t
   like it.
    Now all I’m getting on my website is
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in home/tradern2/public_html/wp-content/
   thenes/web-point/modules/success-stories.php on line 45
 * I get the same message on my url/wp-admin so I cannot get back in to edit anything!
 * The address is [http://tradernomics.net](http://tradernomics.net)
 * I really appreciate your help guys, I have people looking at the website for 
   advertising purposes over the next few days, so need it back up and running asap…
 * Kind regards

 * Access your server via [FTP or SFTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   navigate to `/wp-content/themes/` and rename the `/web-point/` directory. This
   will force the Default theme (WordPress 1.5 – 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (
   WordPress 3.0 and higher) to activate and you should be able to access your Dashboard.
