Title: Error after Widget Logic upgrade Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Error after Widget Logic upgrade * Resolved [Meginoz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meginoz/) * (@meginoz) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/) * I’ve just upgraded the Widget Logic plugin on my local test site, and am seeing this error at the top of each page, and everywhere a widget should be: * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\megansweb2012\wp-content\plugins\widget-logic\widget_logic. php(284) : eval()'d code on line 1` * I’m guessing it’s something to do with the following item in the Change Log, but it’s a bit above my head what this means. * > Added a ‘widget_logic_eval_override’ filter. This allows advanced users to > bypass EVAL with a function of their own. * Any idea what this error means, and how I can fix it?

Same warning accross the website! * [philibertperusse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philibertperusse/) * (@philibertperusse) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293795) * I found the issue, it appears that if your condition logic contains quotes, like: ` is_page('about')` * then these quotes gets escaped, and then eval tries to eval `return (is_page(\' about\'))` * I patched it by manually modifying widget_logic.php as follows, starting at line 281: * ``` if (stristr($wl_value,"return")===false) { $wl_value="return (" . $wl_value . ");"; // Unescape the quotes in $wl_value $wl_value=preg_replace("/\\\'/","'", $wl_value); } ``` * Hopefully the author will fix it and I will just have to overwrite my change. * [godoggydaddy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/godoggydaddy/) * (@godoggydaddy) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293796) * Happened to me as well. For a temp fix I deactivated the plugin, downloaded the previous version, 0.52, from the developers page of the plugin at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/developers/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/developers/). I then overwrote the new plugin which is located in the wp-content/plugins/widget- logic/ directory with the previous plugin and then activated the plugin again. That fixes the immediate problem and I will wait until wiser heads than mine figure out the fix. Hope this helps. * [jrstaatsiii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrstaatsiii/) * (@jrstaatsiii) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293797) * This happened to us as well. glad to see it is a common error and not something we did internally. Widget Logic has had great support in the past, and I’m sure we’ll get a patch out ASAP. * [deadhippo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadhippo/) * (@deadhippo) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293800) * Me too. * [ElizaTaylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elizataylor/) * (@elizataylor) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293802) * I just upgraded the plugin and I’m getting terrible errors all over my website too 🙁 [http://www.spacepops.com/](http://www.spacepops.com/) * [zreNET](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zrenet/) * (@zrenet) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293805) * me too, please fix it * Thread Starter [Meginoz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meginoz/) * (@meginoz) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293806) * Thanks phil, I guess I’ll just roll back to the old version and wait for the fix. * [khan.shabnam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khanshabnam/) * (@khanshabnam) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293814) * FIX for wordpress 3.5 version * Add following code on line number 58 (in widget_logic_visual_admin_enqueue_script() function) in plugins/widget-logic-visual/widget_logic.php * ``` wp_register_script('jquery.1.7' ,plugin_dir_url(__FILE__).'js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js'); wp_enqueue_script('jquery.1.7'); ``` * and upload jquery1.7.1.min.js in plugin js folder And it works fine for. * [alanft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanft/) * (@alanft) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-widget-logic-upgrade/#post-3293815) * 🙁 I will patch ASAP.
