 * Please help. My website at highlineonline.ca is not working. I was trying to 
   update a plugin and now get this error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/highline/HighlineOnline.ca/
   wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/comments.php on line 28
 * What should I do?
 * —
 * This is the code on the page it now won’t let me navigate away from without the
   error:
 * <?php
 * /**
    * Module Name: Jetpack Comments * Module Description: A new comment system
   that has integrated social media login options. * First Introduced: 1.4 * Sort
   Order: 2 */
 * require dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/comments/comments.php’;
 * if ( is_admin() ) {
    require dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/comments/admin.php’; }
 * function jetpack_comments_load() {
    Jetpack::enable_module_configurable( __FILE__);
   Jetpack::module_configuration_load( __FILE__, ‘jetpack_comments_configuration_load’);}
 * function jetpack_comments_configuration_load() {
    wp_safe_redirect( admin_url(‘
   options-discussion.php#jetpack-comments-settings’ ) ); exit; } add_action( ‘jetpack_modules_loaded’,‘
   jetpack_comments_load’ );

 * Probably the easiest thing is to delete the plugin via FTP. This first step should
   get your site back, albeit without JetPack. Then upload a fresh copy of the JetPack
   plugin, also over FTP.
