Title: Updated PlugIns Before WordPress…Now I've got only Error code Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Updated PlugIns Before WordPress…Now I've got only Error code * [garbagefactor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/garbagefactor/) * (@garbagefactor) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugins-before-wordpressnow-ive-got-only-error-code/) * Please be kind. Obviously I’ve already learned by this mistake. * I haven’t updated in a while and was moving quickly through the options. WordPress had a way to update all my plug ins at once. I did it, then intended to go back and update WordPress itself. It won’t let me. Here’s the error code I’m getting( I get it when I go to the site too, not just the admin side) * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ARRAY, expecting ‘&’ or T_VARIABLE or T_CONST in /home/content/m/i/s/missmm/html/garbagefactor/wp-content/plugins/wp- security-scan/libs/functions.php on line 481 * I’m able to get into Admin by back tabbing, but any action I try gets me the above code. * I’m not a code writer, just a regular ol’ broad trying to do a blog for herself on her own domain. * Help is appreciated…REALLY appreciated. * Marian Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [tommycopeland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommycopeland/) * (@tommycopeland) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugins-before-wordpressnow-ive-got-only-error-code/#post-2237168) * From your FTP, access the functions.php file in your wp-security scan plugin directory. Check out line 481 – if it’s the last line in the file, check to make sure it ends with ?> and that there aren’t any spaces following. * [govpatel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/govpatel/) * (@govpatel) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugins-before-wordpressnow-ive-got-only-error-code/#post-2237174) * You can deactivate the plugin wp-security-scan using ftp rename the plugin to get your website back * Thread Starter [garbagefactor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/garbagefactor/) * (@garbagefactor) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugins-before-wordpressnow-ive-got-only-error-code/#post-2237177) * Hi Tommy, * When I tried to access the file to edit, I got this: * “The file could not be loaded. Closing editor.” * I also tried the next suggestion to rename wp-security, but I’m still getting the same error code. * Thread Starter [garbagefactor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/garbagefactor/) * (@garbagefactor) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugins-before-wordpressnow-ive-got-only-error-code/#post-2237178) * govpatel, * I tried renaming and that didn’t work. I’m still getting the same error code.
