I’ve tried to replicate the same instance as yours but couldn’t get the error (thankfully). * I would request you to debug it further on your website, please. As you have already installed the ‘Health Check Plugin’, kindly enable ‘Troubleshooting Mode’ from its settings admin page. * > “Troubleshooting allows you to have a clean WordPress session, where all plugins > are disabled, and a default theme is used, but only for your users until you > disable it or log out.” * Once activated, kindly enable Editor Plus to see if it still gives you the error, if not, continue enabling other plugins until you get the error to find out the conflicting plugin. Also try activating your theme again in troubleshooting mode to see if it has any issue with that, instead. * Let me know how it goes. * Regards, Munir Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘E_PARSE error’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/editorplus/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2634036) * [Gutenberg Blocks Library & Toolkit - Editor Plus](https://wordpress.org/plugins/editorplus/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/editorplus/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/editorplus/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/editorplus/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/editorplus/reviews/) * 3 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Munir Kamal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/munirkamal/) * Last activity: [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/e_parse-error-3/#post-14757249) * Status: resolved
