unable to view user profile with custom fields; using Theme My Login

I'm getting the exact same problem described in: https://wp-types.com/forums/topic/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-wpcf_admin_add_js_settings/

As suggested, I've tried adding the following code to my child theme functions.php:

add_action('init', 'types_tml_fix');
function types_tml_fix() {
    require WPCF_EMBEDDED_ABSPATH . "/admin.php";
}

When I add these lines to functions.php I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_FUNCTION

After i get this error I find the only way I can recover is to revert back to the previous working copy of functions.php.
Removing the added code does not help.

I'm fairly new to modifying WP code. Is there a particular place in functions.php that I need to add these lines?
I've tried putting it in a few different places but can't seem to get it to work…

Thanks for your help.
