   Hello,

   I got this error after I updated some plug ins,
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘var’ (T_VAR) in /home/smilesonbristol/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/sal/class.json-api-date.php on line 55

   Please help.

     Hey Francisco,

     First you need to deactivate all WordPress plugins. After that activate them one by one until you get the error again. This will help you find out exactly which plugin is causing the error. You can then contact the plugin support.

   I cannot thank you enough! You have saved my life! I was to a break point as I thought I’d lost my entire 2 days of work on my new website. Now I have ftp’d the file, and I am back in wp-admin again! Thank you so much for your wonderful site.

     Please check your FTP username, password, and host information. You may have received this information in an email when you signed up for your hosting account. You can also ask your hosting support to provide these details.

   Here’s another one:
   logged on to the FTP (as suggested by this blog…thanks for that!!), found the files…. but couldn’t download them:
   ….Status: Starting download of /www/wp-admin/theme-editor.php
   Error: Failed to open “/theme-editor.php” for writing
   Error: File transfer failed…..

   idea? Anyone?

     I had the same problem, a red error message when I tried to download it from the right-click window: so I simply searched for my desktop, dragged the file there, edited it, deleted the old functions.php file in my wordpress and dragged the new edited file in the same place. Hope this helps.

   I am getting this error. I did what you said, pasted in some code that didn’t work. When I took the pasted code out, it still gave me the error. So, fine, I just copied the whole file from a fresh download, and I’m still getting the same error, so I have no idea of what to do now.

      This error happen after I made the plugin´s update by WP Painel.. and now I can´t access the WP Painel anymore… only by FTP

    Would it be possible for the WP developer team to develop some kind of a script, that is checking out the code syntax in the functions.php file in order to prevent the user from saving the file if it contents any error.

    I think it could be of a big help for many users, especially if a user has taken a copy of the file before making any changes in it.

    Hello guys ,

    Can anyone help me with this, I’m having an error when i check my blog health on I dont know how to fix this error. I have tried so hard but couldn’t fix it.

    Improper use of href attribute

    The href attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to. Without this attribute, the <a> is not a hyperlink.

    How to solve this issue

    This is essentially a broken link and therefore should be fixed asap so as to not affect SEO negatively.

    Thank you

      Hi Imran,

      You will need to edit the post or page and locate the broken link and then delete it.

    Hello –

    I have a similar error. The site had a theme and I changed it. It worked fine and I was customizing when the issue happened. When I go into FTP the new theme files are not there- only the old theme is shown. How can that be?

    I tried to upload the new theme here to overwrite whatever is causing it to stay down but nothing is working. Any advice?

    Thanks!

    When I go to my website I get this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘/’ in /home/cycletrk/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 12

    I know it’s a code error but I haven’t made any changes to the website for a while so the code just suddenly changed? I can log into the admin section site fine but I can’t find where this code is.

    Any help?

      Try deactivating plugins. See how to deactivate all WordPress plugins when not able to access wp-admin. If this does not work, then try updating your WordPress site URL. Simply edit your wp-config.php file and add these two lines:

      define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
      define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);

      Replace example.com with your own domain name. It is possible that your site URLs are changed and have an unexpected ‘/’ at the end of the URL. IF this does not work out, then try deleting .htaccess file. If the .htaccess method solves the problem, then remember to visit Settings -> Permalinks page and click on update button to refresh your permalinks.

    See our FTP Tutorial

    Once you are connected through FTP locate the file where you pasted the code. Most probably you added it in /wp-content/themes/yourthemename/functions.php

    Download the file to your computer. Edit it to remove the code and then upload it back to the server.

    Hey-

    I’ve downloaded FTP but I have no idea what to do once inside besides logging in. How do I find my error and correct it?

    A little more background:

    I was trying to change where an ad on my page was by the code. Put the code in wrong so I can’t log into the page now. No idea how to change it back.

    Thanks

    I’ve been trying to correct the syntax error I made whilst building my site, but the mapping for where I’m being told the error is doesn’t appear to exist when I try to access the site through FZ. I’m guessing it’s a similar issue to Jose’s last month. Any advice? Thanks

    Seems like your theme’s functions.php file is broken. Here is what you need to do. First connect to your website using an FTP client. Go to wp-content/themes/laboratory_child/ directory and then edit functions.php file. On line 20 you will see a closing curly bracket ‘ } ‘ This bracket is not supposed to be here.

    If this is a child theme, then you can backup your functions.php file and then delete it from your webserver. The parent theme’s functions.php file will take over.
