Title: parse error Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # parse error * [ouzifeng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ouzifeng/) * (@ouzifeng) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/) * Hi Guys, * Newbie here, having problems with parse error: * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘www’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in D:\home\site\wwwroot\articles\wp-content\themes\atahualpa\functions\bfa_header_config. php on line 163 * Below is the code: * echo ‘[‘; echo ‘< img class=”logo” src=”‘.$logo . ‘” alt=”‘; bloginfo(‘name’); echo ‘” />’;} * Could anyone tell me what is incorrect? * thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * (@catacaustic) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812084) * What you have there can’t be where the error is. The error says * > unexpected ‘www’ (T_STRING), * There’s no “www” anywhere in the code that you’ve shown us there. * But… * Having looed at that, it’s really not done the right way. It should be something more like this: * ``` echo ''; echo ''; } ``` * Thread Starter [ouzifeng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ouzifeng/) * (@ouzifeng) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812086) * 162 echo ‘’; 163 echo ‘”‘’; 164 } * Now looks like this but still getting same error at: * [http://www.roburir.com/articles/wp-admin/](http://www.roburir.com/articles/wp-admin/) * [catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * (@catacaustic) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812087) * There’s something strange going on. As I said before, your code doesn’t have “ www” anywhere, and that’s what the error says is breaking it. Most times when I’ve seen this it’s been because the file is formated a little differently, or the old version of the file is still on the server. * Can you post the entire file to [pastbin](http://pastebin.com/) so we can see exactly what’s happening with it? (of course, remove any sensative info before you do) * Thread Starter [ouzifeng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ouzifeng/) * (@ouzifeng) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812088) * Hey Cat, * Thanks for taking the time to look at this, * have copied the full header_config file to: * [http://pastebin.com/ANFzhT1e](http://pastebin.com/ANFzhT1e) * [catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * (@catacaustic) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812091) * The error is on line 208. No idea why your server is reporting the wrong line– but it looks like you haven’t got the latest file uploaded to the server. * This is line 208. Notice thw ‘www’ in there, and look just before it… * ``` echo 'href="http://' . ($bfa_ata['feedburner_old_new'] == 'New - at feedburner.google.com' ? 'feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=' : 'www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=') . $bfa_ata['feedburner_email_id'] . '&loc=' . get_locale() . '" title="' . $bfa_ata['email_subscribe_link_title'] . '">' . $bfa_ata['email_subscribe_link'] .

Like the rest of the string joins in that same bit of code. * Thread Starter [ouzifeng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ouzifeng/) * (@ouzifeng) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812097) * echo ‘href=”[http://’](http://’); .

Just a quick search for the header function name brings up a commercial organisation that does “hands-free” theme coding… I hate to say it, but this is why I don’t use services like that. They never work quite as well as they are meant to. You should contact them to get support for this as if it really is a problem like this, then they’ll need to know about it to fix stuff for anyone else that uses this. * Thread Starter [ouzifeng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ouzifeng/) * (@ouzifeng) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812103) * Hi Bernbe01 * Thanks for isolating the problem, not sure what echoing the variable out means * [bernbe01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernbe01/) * (@bernbe01) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812106) * on line 161 put: * ``` echo "Echoed var: " . $logo; echo "
";
       print_r($logo);
       echo "
"; ``` * if you still can’t find the proper var name, try doing the same code changes for the $imgdir and $bfa_ata vars * i agree with catacaustic that if this is not a customization you are applying to the theme it needs the theme devs to fix this for you * Thread Starter [ouzifeng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ouzifeng/) * (@ouzifeng) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812111) * yeah I have no idea what that means, I added it to 161 but no change * [bernbe01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernbe01/) * (@bernbe01) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812114) * Probably should get a coder to help you if you don’t want to contact the devs * The jobs forum would be a great resource for this * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812118) * Here’s the developer’s site for that theme: * [http://forum.bytesforall.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38](http://forum.bytesforall.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38) * Or just download a new copy of it here: * [https://wordpress.org/themes/atahualpa](https://wordpress.org/themes/atahualpa) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) The topic ‘parse error’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [parse-error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/parse-error/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 15 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * Last activity: [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-304/#post-5812118) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
