Title: Error: widget_logic.php(286) : eval()'d code on line 1 Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Error: widget_logic.php(286) : eval()'d code on line 1 * [JT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtripp81/) * (@jtripp81) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/) * I’ve read some of the previous post regarding this error, but I wasn’t able to find a solution to my problem. * I am in a situation where I am using a lot of widgets and it’s causing my site to crash. The widget admin error is even freezing and not allowing me to edit/ expand them. Any ideas on what may be happening? I just recently started experiencing this. * Error log is reporting this: * PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/50/10268050/html/ wp/betasite/wp-content/plugins/widget-logic/widget_logic.php(286) : eval()’d code on line 1 * You’ll notice on my site that it’s not loading properly at the bottom. * [http://lichange.org/wp/betasite/](http://lichange.org/wp/betasite/) * Screenshot of the error: * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/gGs3ZWG) * I am using 3.9.1, but I was using 3.9 and it was still experiencing the same issue. * Thanks for any help with this! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [alanft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanft/) * (@alanft) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099145) * the error is caused by the execution of the WL code you’ve put in against one of your widgets. one method of troubleshooting is to save out the WL config and then check each widget in turn, clear the text out of each one and save until the error goes. * Thread Starter [JT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtripp81/) * (@jtripp81) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099146) * Thanks for the quick response! * I am not sure what you mean with both parts. * Save out? Temporarily remove it from the server? Deactivate it? * [hwoolmington](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwoolmington/) * (@hwoolmington) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099149) * Hi, I’m not going to pretend to know much here, but I think I may be having the same problem. I’m hosted on WPengine and after chatting with their support they seem to think it’s an issue with this plugin, but an easy fix? Anyway, here’s the error: * “[Mon Jul 14 18:29:30 2014] [error] [client 66.249.90.171] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /nas/wp/www/cluster-1025/jumpstartmd/wp-content/plugins/ widget-logic/widget_logic.php(286) : eval()’d code on line 1” * If it’s helpful, the reason I started investigating this was google was denying my Ad requests because it’s bots were getting 500 errors on pages that were ( seemingly) loading just fine. Deactivating this plugin has resolved that problem. * Thank you for your help – I hope this is useful * Thread Starter [JT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtripp81/) * (@jtripp81) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099156) * I just deactivated the plugin and the admin widget area isn’t frozen. If that helps in regards to the troubleshooting. * Thread Starter [JT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtripp81/) * (@jtripp81) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099234) * Just another note. I just went through every widget and verified that they all say “is_page(xxx)”. Could this be a widget_content issue, meaning could there be an error (in my code) in one of my post that may be causing this? * [kmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmedia/) * (@kmedia) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099236) * yahhh ! [@jtripp81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtripp81/) : you can remove “}” on your Widget logic input. exp : i use “is_category( ‘9’ );” ->> error. when use “is_category( ‘9’ )”. “clear the text out of each one and save until the error goes” * Thread Starter [JT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtripp81/) * (@jtripp81) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099237) * I am not using this character “}” for any of them though. Was that a typo on your part? Also do I need an exclamation point at the beginning of the code in the widget logic like this: !is_page(xx)? How about single quotes around the number? * Thanks! * [mrarie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrarie/) * (@mrarie) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099282) * Same problem here: * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ‘)’ in /xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/widget_logic/widget_logic.php(168): eval()’d code on line 1 * Is there any solution for this? * [asw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astreetweb/) * (@astreetweb) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-widget_logicphp286-evald-code-on-line-1/#post-5099325) * What alanft is getting at is that the cause of the problem could be an error in the widget logic syntax on one of your widgets. * For instance, I got this error on one of my websites because I put * `is_page( array( 4,6,7' ) )` (extra apostrophe after the 7) It should be * `is_page( array( 4,6,7 ) )` * alanft is suggesting you check the widget logic setting for each of your widgets to make sure there are no errors. For help in figuring out the correct syntax, see this page: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags) * A syntax error in just one of your widgets will cause all of them to display the error message.
