Title: Parse error line 2934 Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Parse error line 2934 * [elvizapelvis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elvizapelvis/) * (@elvizapelvis) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-line-2934/) * Hello, * Already 3 times in the past few months (twice in the past month) I’ve been getting warnings from my site that it has malware. The first couple times my web host removed it for me and the site was fine afterwards. But this time, even though my host says he even reinstalled WordPress for me, I only have a parse error message showing up when I go to my site. It reads… * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/elvizaco/public_html/wp-includes/ functions.php on line 2934 * I can post a few lines of the code before and after line 2934. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already lost a lot of business due to site issues and I need to figure out why this keeps happening. With my previous host (and prior to using WordPress) I had a few times that my site got redirected, but never these malware warnings or parse errors.

Likely it’s really one time and either you did not close the door on the attackers or didn’t really delouse your installation properly. * Quoting someone else who put it very well: * > It is essential that you clear the hack out of your site completely. Otherwise > the hacker will just walk straight back in.

I greatly appreciate the response. I will work on this over the next couple days. My host had fixed it for me initially so all I know is that it was working fine for a while afterwards and then started up again (first time a few months went by, second time a few weeks). This last time the parse error showed up immediately after he stated he had removed the malware, although I was able to access the CPanel again, which I could not before he intervened. Then he supposedly reinstalled WordPress for me, although I don’t really know what all was actually done, and the parse error still showed up. He told me that meant I had some files damaged. I have since read that some of this code can stay in there to reinfect. The weird thing is that when this started (the last time) I had received an email from Google saying my site had an issue, and a couple days later they wrote me back saying my site was reactivated on AdWords as there was no longer malware showing up (even though the site is not working). I wrote them back but have not received a response so far. This is what made it more confusing.
