Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Oh no what happened!

I followed your instructions in the gold forum for changing the footer and I am getting the following error


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/content/d/s/t/dstolfi808/html/halaukalama/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions.php on line 139

It wont even let me in the editor or anypart of the site anymore to fix it!

what post are you refering to?
you must have added or removed a '}' which is causing the problem

copy and paste teh 10 lines before and after 139 and indicate the line numbers.

If you are in a rush, just upload a fresh copy of the functions.php and you should be all set.

the one about deleting out the wordpress references in the footer.

It wont let me back in at all to the editor and I did upload the functions php file but it isn't helping. When I hit edit or even try to preview my site I get that error. Why wouldn't it update the php file? That should have fixed it I don't get it.

If your still getting the error, then you haven't uploaded the right copy or have a cache issue. Delete function.php and try the site before uploading it. You should see a different error if it has been deleted

if you have access via FTP, please check write permissions on this file

juggledad is right, had the same problem because we serve some of the files straight from the frontend (nginx) and after each change of this kind we need to restart the process to kill the live cache. tricky if you run fastcgi on the same box.

Hi,

I'm a brand newbie to the Wordpress game, and I've made my first cock-up, and now my site is down, with the following message:Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in E:\Domains\t\takeaimnz.com\user\htdocs\wp-content\themes\atahualpa\functions.php on line 139 because my changes were obviously not up to scratch. I thought they were!

I can't get into wp-admin at all.

I understand that the best way to fix this is to upload a new copy of functions.php, but I don't have ftp access, and my host is inaccessible. Is there another way?

With fingers crossed,

JK

Well, if you can't get into wp-admin and you don't have ftp access, then you are going to have to contact your host for help. Removing the Atahualpa folder will resolve this since you will revert back tothe default theme

I'm also very new to Wordpress and the same thing happened to me when I tried to remove the footer. Maybe the instructions could be a little clearer for people who aren't familiar with php.

Murias - if you upload a fresh copy of footer.php you should be back up.

I'm not sure how much clearer the instructions could be

I thought so. I'll see what can be done.

Perhaps a warning - "Make sure any changes you make are accurate, because incorrect changes here can..." etc. It would have made me have second thoughts!!

Thanks for the confirmation. And for all your contributions!
