# user-edit.php error

 * When I access my WordPress and go to “users > all users > admin > [EDIT]” but
   when I click edit I get an error message, so now I cannot get into here to complete
   the things I need to do for my website.
 * ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘\’ (T_NS_SEPARATOR), expecting identifier(
   T_STRING) in /data/51/4/94/58/4746384/user/5621970/htdocs/wordpress1/wp-admin/
   user-edit.php on line 10
 * The file “user-edit.php” has the following:
 * <?php
    /** * Edit user administration panel. * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/)

 * It could be a function conflict introduced by a theme or plugin.
 * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme
   to rule-out a theme-specific issue.
 * If neither of those made any difference, try [downloading WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/)
   again, access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace
   your copies of everything on the server **except** the wp-config.php file and
   the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively
   replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings.
 * Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget 
   to delete the original files before replacing them.

 * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) In other words, this
   means I would have to redo my entire site? I have it completed, but this issue
   I am facing.

 * Absolutely not.
 * Follow the instructions I provided. In short, they walk you through identifying
   the specific cause of the problem so that it can be properly addressed.
 * Absolutely nothing above involves you having to “redo [your] entire site.” I 
   even specifically stated in the core file replacement instructions, “This will
   effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and 
   settings.”
