[RESOLVED] I need help

Jerem678

Basically, I tried getting rid of the white box found under the header of my website www.eagerforsuccess.com

but I guess I messed with the wrong coding of my website becuase now everytime I go to it it shows this "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in /home1/jer/public_html/wp-content/themes/backcountry/functions.php on line 27"

This is the code that I tampered with

/** Add support for custom header /
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array(
'width' => 960,
'height' => 120 This is line 27 of the script*
) );

Basically I copied and removed that and I got the error. Then I pasted it back and still got a error. Whats the problem?

There is no semicolon on that line. Assuming you're looking at the right file, are you sure that after your adding and deleting and copying and so on you're still looking at the right version of the file?

There is no semicolon on that line.

From my experience, a missing semi-colon throws a 500 error.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, since that could be re-written like this there is a semi-colon.

add_theme_support('genesis-custom-header', array('width' => 960, 'height' => 120));

The error says there is an unexpected semi-colon. If I had to guess, I would say that an entire line was moved into another, including the semi-colon, which was then superfluous. So maybe it had looked like this:

add_theme_support('genesis-custom-header', array('width' => 960, 'height' => 120););

It would help to have the lines around the one generating the error to get a better idea of the bigger picture.

As the thread has been marked Resolved, I presume the extra semi-colon was found.

Yes; when display_errors and display_startup_errors are turned off, then that's the web server's response (appropriate, since it is an "Internal Server Error").
