 * you can notice that from the message :
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/korosh/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/twentyeleven/inc/theme-options.php on line 450

 * This is the reason the WP codex recommends mcreating a child theme. You can read
   more about the [child theme here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
 * You asked in your previous post:
 * > how can i switch to the UNEDITED default Twenty Eleven ?
 * -access your server via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your
   host provides, rename your current Twentyeleven something like twentyeleven_old
 * -download a fresh copy of the twentyeleven, and upload this UNEDITED twentyeleven.
   See if it works.
