I added a function to functions.php in child theme but the website is not working now getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas14_data01/52/2915852/html/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php on line 26

and of course I have no access to wordpress admin.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in. It can only fix through file manager or FTP. Would you mind providing your FTP login credentials?

Thanks!

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the ftp details. I went ahead and edited your child theme’s functions.php file. I change the code:

// =============================================================================
// FUNCTIONS.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Overwrite or add your own custom functions to X in this file.
// =============================================================================

// =============================================================================
// TABLE OF CONTENTS
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   01. Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
//   02. Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

// Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
// =============================================================================

add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );

// Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

function my_tracking_pixel(){ ?>

<!-- <!-- Facebook Pixel Code -->
<script>
	!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','//connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');

fbq('init', '440604012709948');
fbq('track', "PageView");</script>

<!-- End Facebook Pixel Code -->

<?php }
add_action('wp_head', 'my_tracking_pixel');

After saving the file, still no change in your site. Normally, it should have been resolve, but in your case, it doesn’t. Can you please confirm that we are on the correct directory?

Are you using CloudFlare or any CloudHosting with caching or may have installed a caching plugin like WordFence, W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache? Please keep in mind that after doing every updates, always remember to clear all caches when updating so that the code from the latest release is always in use. This will help you to avoid any potential errors.

Please let us know how it goes.

Exactly, this is the problem we face! it does not work!

We do not use any cache plugin or CloudFlate however we use Sucuri.net for security.

What else can we do??

Hi there,

Please update your code to :

<?php

// =============================================================================

// =============================================================================

Hope it helps.

guys! come on pls! we have tried this already… it is not working! and it is driving me crazy! we noticed already the open tag for php but still not working!

Hello Again,

Could please disable your caching feature in Sucuri?

I have change back the contents of the functions.php to the original content like the one below and still no change.

<?php

// =============================================================================
// FUNCTIONS.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Overwrite or add your own custom functions to X in this file.
// =============================================================================

// =============================================================================
// TABLE OF CONTENTS
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   01. Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
//   02. Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

// Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
// =============================================================================

add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );

// Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

Are you sure we are connecting on the correct directory? Because even if we removed the custom functions, it doesn’t seem to have a effect in your site. There must be a caching issue in your server. Maybe you can ask assistance from your host.

Hope this helps. Kindly let us know. Thank you.
