I get this error

after adding the mobile swipe and the remove “Permalink To” php code you provided to functions.php code posted below.

I searched the file using notepad ++ and the WP editor and could not find an error in line 98.

Adding the PHP code for the remove “Permalink To” at first allowed the server refresh as you described using theme options however now this fails and causes the error described.

I had to upload the functions.php from a backup to get the site back up.

I am working on sharing the file in GitHub shortly.
