# template-tags.php issue

 * Hi
 * WordPress novice here. I have created a child theme of BHost to run my site: 
   [http://fit2communicate.com/](http://fit2communicate.com/). I wanted to remove
   the ‘Posted In’ and author details from posts and after searching through this
   forum looked into the template-tags.php (inc/template-tags.php) file.
 * I took a copy paste of the code before changing anything. Once I changed what
   I thought would fix the issue I tried and it didn’t – I just got the error message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘edit_post_link’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘{‘
   in /home1/commsess/public_html/fit2communicate.com/wp-content/themes/bhost/inc/
   template-tags.php on line 19
 * I put the code back as it was but I am still getting this error on the site and
   am now stuck.
 * Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
 * Justin

 * I can’t access any of the files as I am locked out of the admin function.
 * As I understand I need to replace the fle via FTP?
 * But I can’t find the file to replace in my file structure.

 * Problem solved now – I re-uploaded the template-tags.php file via FTP and all
   is now back online. Thanks anyway.
