 * When going to our hosted website, I’m getting white screen. When trying to go
   to /wp-admin, I get white screen. [http://toothdocsd.com](http://toothdocsd.com)
 * I’ve opened the cpanel. The readme.html says version 4.2.2.
 * The phperror_log in wp-content shows that the following error started then and
   continues to this day: [23-Jun-2015 14:43:55 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error,
   unexpected T_ELSE in /home/toothdoc/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on 
   line 1305
 * I’m a real newbie in WordPress but am helping with a business site that we need
   to get back up.
 * Where should I start in debugging to get this site back up?
