In reply to: [Page Expiration Robot - Countdown Timer] I paid for the Pro …Oh by the way the only way to get rid of their validation page which shows up on all of my dashboard pages is to disable their plugin. That is a nasty way to go about business especially if you have been using the pro for almost a year. If they charge by the year I would never have bought it.

In reply to: my site is downI realized that Jess, after I had posted. I guess my first post is never what we dreamed it would be!
I did post my own thread if you checked and problem was solved by someone who actually cared about the problem, but I appreciate the correction…

In reply to: function php operator killed my siteThat worked!Yippie!!!
But probably I should have repaired the one I screwed up in the FTP file manager. I had a copy I could have used to repair. The reason is that the menu’s were all messed up. That took only a few minutes. The header was messed up that took just a couple minutes to fix.At least I now know a few things I didn’t know yesterday. 1. How to get back to the files for the themes I am using and they can be corrected. 2. I can use my files from other hosted sites to retrieve the files I needed to repair my mess up. 3. How to get help right here. 4. And the last thing I know is that I am more dangerous to myself and my websites than I was just a few minutes ago.

In reply to: function php operator killed my siteI will try that and let you know if that works. Of course it was myself who corrupted the file in the functions.php. I believe I did not return the file to its proper configuration. All the same, I think that might work.
Thank you

In reply to: my site is downI have a problem. I tried to add: add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’); to make a form work as a widget in the right column.
The instructions were: To allow shortcodes in sidebar widgets, simply edit the functions.php file from your them and add the following code:add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);
I could not find exactly where put this add_filter code so I began experimenting. I figured the worst I could do is to step backwards or get out without changing anything. Bad move. My site is down.
The error I get is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘(‘, expecting ‘&’ or T_VARIABLE in /home/content/03/8353203/html/fyifixit/wp-content/themes/sliding-door.bak/functions.php on line 457My site is http://fyifixit.com
Now I have to fix it.
I can go back to my FTP file manager and delete the theme. Then reinstall the theme on WordPress admin panel. I have over 300 pages, hundred of pics and art, and lots of other stuff. Naturally I could never be able to recreate everything so what I do not want to do is compound my problem by losing my pages +.
I was able to get back into my website by renaming the theme to sliding-door.bak (it was sliding-door). I simply cannot get back to the functions php file And go to one of my other websites to bring back the correct php code.
So the short question is : Can I just remove the corrupt theme back at my FTP file manager? Will that solve my problem?
I may try that on one of my brand new websites to see if it works.
Any suggestions would be useful.
