 * Hi,
 * I bought the fabric-v2 theme, but when I uploaded it to wordpress I got the Parse
   error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘, expecting ‘)’ in /data/web/e41018/html/apps/
   wordpress-24217/wp-content/themes/Fabric/functions.php on line 5
    I can’t even
   go back to the admin panel.
 * I tried to change the code over ftp, but that makes it even worse.
    Could somebody
   help me please?
 * here is my site: [http://unfold.jhalper10.grafik.graphische.net](http://unfold.jhalper10.grafik.graphische.net)

 * So try deactivating that theme manually – using FTP or Cpanel, delete it from
   here:
 *     ```
       wp-content
           themes
               Fabric
       ```
   
 * Then you’ll need to ask the developer of the theme about the issue – as these
   forums really can’t support commercial themes, sorry.
