Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in wp-includes/default-widgets.php

  • Hello all,

    I have been having a problem with two websites. Every few days the error
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /public_html/wp-includes/default-widgets.php on line 1035

    Pops up. When I replace the default-widgets.php file the following error comes up:
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /public_html/wp-includes/default-filters.php:215) in /public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 865

    Both sites also have only the default plug-ins installed.
    when I re-upload the entire wp-includes folder, the site works again.

    The error originally happened in 2.8.6, but I have downgraded to 2.8.4 and it is still occurring.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If more clarification is needed or any more information, please don’t hesitate to ask.

    Matt

  • Had this problem with php include() and solved it by uploading a new copy of the included file. Made sure the new upload line endings were UNIX, not Mac, Dos, or UTF. Also made sure the file was UTF-8, not ISO-8829-1 or whatever else my text-editor might have done.
