    The above Parse Error is related to line 5. Here are the top 6 lines.

    <?php
    /** Enable W3 Total Cache */
    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); // Added by W3 Total Cache
    /**/
    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //

    I have no understanding of php at all but I can’t see an issue here. Does it perhaps have <?php twice where it should be once?? Can someone assist please??

    You are opening the php command twice; without properly closing it the first time.

    Let’s try this:

    <?php
 /** Enable W3 Total Cache */
 define('WP_CACHE', true); // Added by W3 Total Cache

 // ** MySQL settings ** //

    Done… and done. Magic.

    Suddenly up comes the site. I’ve no idea how the extra code got added because I’ve never touched the file, but all is well now. 😀

    Many thanks… ten years (intermittent) work saved! 🙂

    Solved.
