Syntaxfel i WordPress kan kännas överväldigande, särskilt om du är nybörjare på kodning.
Du kan stöta på det här problemet när du lägger till kodsnuttar från tutorials. Även ett litet misstag kan förstöra hela din webbplats.
Om du har sett det fruktade meddelandet ”Syntax error, unexpected…” behöver du inte gripas av panik – du har kommit till rätt ställe! Vi har stött på och åtgärdat det här felet många gånger på våra webbplatser, och vi vet hur vi kan hjälpa dig att lösa det.
Den här guiden går igenom stegen för att åtgärda syntaxfelet i WordPress. I slutet kommer du att veta hur du får din webbplats att fungera smidigt igen.
Vad är ett syntaxfel i WordPress och varför ska jag bry mig?
Ett syntaxfel i WordPress uppstår när den kod du har lagt till har felaktig syntax, vilket innebär att den inte följer reglerna för programmeringsspråket.
Den här typen av fel kan bero på något så enkelt som ett saknat kommatecken, en extra parentes eller ett felplacerat citattecken.
Så varför ska du bry dig om syntaxfel?
För det första kan de få hela din webbplats att stanna upp. Istället för att se din vackert utformade webbplats möts besökarna av ett felmeddelande. Detta påverkar inte bara användarupplevelsen utan kan också skada din webbplats rykte och tillförlitlighet.
Dessutom kan syntaxfel göra det omöjligt för dig att komma åt ditt WordPress-adminområde. Detta kan vara särskilt stressande om du är obekväm med kodning och inte vet hur du ska åtgärda problemet.
Kort sagt är syntaxfel små men betydelsefulla misstag i din kod som kan ha stor inverkan på din webbplats. Att kunna identifiera och åtgärda dessa fel snabbt är nyckeln till att upprätthålla en smidig och professionell webbplats.
Använd rätt syntax för att undvika fel
Att se till att din kod är korrekt skriven från början kan spara dig mycket huvudvärk. Genom att vara uppmärksam på korrekt syntax kan du undvika många vanliga fallgropar som leder till fel.
Det första du behöver göra är att titta på nybörjarens guide till att klistra in kodsnuttar från webben i WordPress. I den här artikeln listas några vanliga misstag som nybörjare gör när de klistrar in kod i WordPress-mallar.
Syntaxfelet orsakas vanligtvis av ett litet men avgörande misstag i din kodsyntax. Till exempel kan ett saknat kommatecken eller en extra hakparentes förstöra hela skriptet.
Har du nyligen klistrat in ett utdrag från webben? Uppdaterat ett plugin? Då är chansen stor att du vet exakt var du ska leta.
Videohandledning
Om du föredrar skriftliga instruktioner, fortsätt att läsa.
Åtgärda syntaxfelet med hjälp av FTP
För att åtgärda syntaxfelet måste du redigera koden som orsakade det. Du kan antingen ta bort den eller korrigera syntaxen.
Ofta får nybörjare panik eftersom detta fel gör hela deras webbplats otillgänglig.
Om du klistrade in koden med hjälp av din WordPress-panel i avsnittet Utseende ” Redaktör, är du utestängd. Du kan kolla in vår guide om vad du ska göra om du är utelåst från WordPress-admin.
Så hur redigerar du koden?
Det enda sättet att åtgärda detta är att komma åt den fil du senast redigerade med FTP. För steg-för-steg-instruktioner kan du läsa vår guide om hur du använder FTP.
När du har installerat FTP-programmet ska du ansluta det till din webbplats och gå till den temafil som behöver redigeras. Om du har glömt vilken fil du behöver redigera tittar du bara på felkoden. Felet kommer att berätta exakt vilken fil och rad du behöver redigera.
Du kan antingen ta bort den kod som du senast lade till eller skriva koden med rätt syntax. När du är klar med att ta bort eller redigera koden sparar du filen och laddar upp den till din server.
Efter det kan du besöka din WordPress-webbplats och uppdatera sidan. Du bör se att din webbplats fungerar igen.
Så här förhindrar du syntaxfel i WordPress
För att förhindra att din WordPress-webbplats går sönder igen rekommenderar vi alltid att du lägger till anpassad kod med ett kodsnippets-plugin som WPCode.
WPCode gör det enkelt att lägga till kodsnuttar i WordPress utan att behöva redigera ditt temas functions.php-fil. Den levereras också med smart validering av kodsnuttar för att förhindra fel.
När du lägger till din anpassade kod kommer WPCode automatiskt att upptäcka eventuella fel. Om du håller muspekaren över ett fel visas användbara instruktioner så att du enkelt kan rätta till ditt misstag.
WPCode kommer också omedelbart att avaktivera din anpassade kod när den upptäcker ett syntaxfel.
Med det här insticksprogrammet behöver du aldrig oroa dig för att din webbplats ska gå sönder när du lägger till kodsnuttar.
Du kan läsa mer i vår guide om hur du enkelt lägger till egen kod i WordPress.

I get ”critical error: could not connect to server” when I enter my server information. So I can’t even get to the point that your video begins at.

Hi Aaron,
You can also connect to your server using File Manager app in your hosting account dashboard.

Thank you SO SO much! The bad snippet was invisible inside the Admin page in Wordpress, for some reason, but fully visible in the functions.php found in the FTP!!
You saved my day, thank you very much again!

Thank you SO much! 7 days of getting My hosting service(a very large popular one) to try to fix this no luck just trying to upsell me on things I neither want nor need.

Hello:
I have run into this error helping someone else out with their website, so I wasn’t using my actual website when I got this error. I’m wondering how I can remove the error when I’m working on someone else’s site? I have their wordpress. org login information, but obviously I’m locked out of everything now. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Tamia
Thanks for this tutorial. I had a parsing/syntax problem when editing functions.php in a new website. I was working on the admin page of my WordPress site when I attempted to comment-out a line of code (using instructions by the theme author) but that caused the error. I had copied the functions.php code to TextWrangler, made the alteration, and pasted the whole doc back into the edit window. In ”updating” the page I got the error and was effectively locked out of the site. So I used FTP to upload and overwrite the relevant doc, using a backup I’d made the previous day (thank goodness for those). If it hadn’t been for WP Beginner’s clear instructions here and on the ”What To Do When You Are Locked Out of WordPress Admin (wp-admin)” post, I’d have been tearing my hair out. Thanks!

In trying to log into my page via Filezilla, am I supposed to use my admin account or my Wordpress account? I’ve tried both and the password authentication keeps failing. I have my original admin password and it’s worked consistently since I’ve had the website up.
WPBeginner Support
Hey Tom,
You’ll need to use your FTP username and password. You will find it in the email you received from your web hosting company when you first signed up. You can also find this information under your cPanel dashboard.

Re: my last comment, I deactivated the plugin and the error went away. So you won’t see what I was describing anymore. I just decided to not use it than try to spend all night figuring out the problem.

I am getting parse error syntax errors on all my product pages. This was brought to my attention by someone trying to shop my site. I have not made any edits to the code, installed any new plugins, or accessed the site at all in months. Not sure when this started but I haven’t had an order in few weeks. If I didn’t add or edit anything to cause this how do I know what to fix? All the error messages reference line 1 of the php file but all there is on line 1 is <?php. It's on all product pages. Here is just one example:

Hi,
I’m managing a website for my society and its has been long since the last time everyone actually had logged into the hosting account and we kind of lost the log in credentials and didn’t even know what hosting we’re using because they paid years ahead before. And maybe changed providers. But I know that our domain is from Godaddy and checked, but the hosting isn’t from the same provider.
It may take some time as we dig through the emails, is there any way to fix syntax error other than through FTP?
WPBeginner Support
Hi shazwan,
Unfortunately there is no way around it. There are online tools that will help you figure out where you website is hosted.

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.
WPBeginner Support
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.

….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 article saved my life – lol. Thank you so much for the step by step. Fortunately, I had copied and pasted the good code into a text file so going back was easy after I understood what I was looking for.

Mikael Andersen
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.
Imran
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
WPBeginner Support
Hi Imran,
You will need to edit the post or page and locate the broken link and then delete it.
