 * Hi, I keep getting this error when opening our website [http://www.zorgmarketeers.nl](http://www.zorgmarketeers.nl).
   I can’t deactivate WP LESS. Please help, site is down 2 days now. Thanks in advance!
   Regards, Wouter

 * Well, the new parser might be less flexible.
 * The aforementioned error states a Less syntax problem — I invite you to check
   it out, file layout.less, line 368. Looks like a comment is missing a closing`*/`(
   use `//` if you don’t want to close a single line comment).

 * Thanks! When I follow the path wp-less/vendor/oyejorge/less.php it says ‘File
   doesn’t exist’. That might me be the problem I guess? 😉 This way I cannot open
   Layout.Less.
 * Can I reinstall the plug-in? Although deactivation isn’t working.

 * Well, it is a file used by your theme.
 * If you have not authored your theme, you should report the error to its author.
 * It is not a plugin issue, but more likely an error in a file of the theme. DIsabling
   the plugin and re-enabling it would not change anything to the problem.

 * Actually I’ve found that the new compiler used in version 1.8 has a problem with
   multi-line comments sometimes. We get a similar error (it acts like there’s a
   missing closing comment when there isn’t), but on the earlier versions of the
   plugin we have no problems. For example, the following code produces an error:
 * /*! #Fonts and Colors *//*
    =================================================
   = */ @primary-font: ‘Lato’, sans-serif; @secondary-font: ‘Cardo’, serif;
 * //blues
    @header-blue: #66939c;

 * I’ve tried removing all commenting – no dice.
