Parse error : syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /homepages/41/d396919553/htdocs/clickandbuilds/MauriceStern/wp-content/themes/x/framework/functions/x/migration.php on line 268

I have tried to correct this based on previous forum queries. I have also consulted the hosting support. Please let me know what to do!

Hi @alikat8,

Thanks for reaching out!

I tried to update the X theme in my development website but I was not able to replicate this issue. I suspect what happened is, there are some corrupted files that cause the issue.

I would recommend fully deleting the X theme and Cornerstone then reinstalling. A good way to do this would be:

  • Access your files using FTP or file manager then go to wp-content/themes then delete the X folder.
  • After deleting the folder, you can now login to your WP dashboard
  • Go to the plugin page and fully delete the Cornerstone plugin
  • Go to your themeco account and download the latest X theme
  • Upload the latest version of the X theme to your website and activate it
  • Use the link provided by X in the dashboard to automatically install Cornerstone at the latest version.

Hope that helps and let us know how that goes.

I have followed your instructions but when I upload the latest version of X theme I get the same error:
Parse error : syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /homepages/41/d396919553/htdocs/clickandbuilds/MauriceStern/wp-content/themes/x/framework/functions/x/migration.php on line 268

and I can not access the dashboard.
I have tried several times! and also I have deleted and reinstalled the x-child theme.
(I have saved my styles.css to my computer to paste back into the child theme later)

Is there something else I can try? Do you need the admin info?

The site is now working! FYI the issue was that the PHP was not updated.
Thank you for your help!
