I CANT USE THE THEME. Parse error WITH NEWSPAPER

Hi, how are you? 🙂

For more than 2h my site is having problems and it’s only working with twenty fifteen theme.

I tell you what happened.

I wanted to change a little thing from a premium plugin called The Event Calendar.

The developer of this plugin, said me to paste the following code to function.php

<?php
// Singular
add_filter( ‘tribe_event_label_singular’, ‘event_display_name’ );
function event_display_name() {
return ‘Meeting’;
}
add_filter( ‘tribe_event_label_singular_lowercase’, ‘event_display_name_lowercase’ );
function event_display_name_lowercase() {
return ‘meeting’;
}
// Plural
add_filter( ‘tribe_event_label_plural’, ‘event_display_name_plural’ );
function event_display_name_plural() {
return ‘Meetings’;
}
add_filter( ‘tribe_event_label_plural_lowercase’, ‘event_display_name_plural_lowercase’ );
function event_display_name_plural_lowercase() {
return ‘meetings’;
}

As soon as I copied this code in the fuction.php, the site fell down, and it appeared this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home/brunohm/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php on line 166

As I neither could open my wp-admin page, I had to contact my hosting support. They only helped me to make the site at list work again with the default theme of WP. And of course we deleted the plugin.But nothing.

They didn’t find the code that I pasted in the Cpanel. So I had to enter and, first of all I had to activate again the Newspaper Theme, and then I found function.php.

So I delete the code, but then saving. The page was not working, it appeared a white page saying. Newspaper does not exist.

So nothing, again the support of the hosting changed to twenty fifteen, and now it works but horrible.

SO I BEG YOU, PLEASE HELP ME 🙂

Hi Bogdan.

I deleted and then re installed the theme via FTP sucesfully.

But having activated twenty fifteen, I went to themes, in WP, and I can’t enter, it shows me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home/brunohm/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php on line 158

I don’t know what to do.

I can give you access to my WP admin and my C Panel. Because I don’t know, I tried all I can, but I can’t use Newspaper 🙁

Thank you

Hello again,

Happy to say the theme is working finally.

This issue started when I wanted to change something of the premium plugin called The Event Calendar, I just wanted to change the word Event to Bdays… So the developer said me to paste a code to function.php

When I did this,booom, Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home/brunohm/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php on line 158

So that means the plugin was causing something to the theme. Am I correct?

Thank you
