 * I received this as a fatal site error this morning. Form seems to be working 
   when I test it. So don’t know for sure what it means.
 * An error of type E_PARSE was caused in line 241 of the file ***mysite***/wp-content/
   plugins/wpforms-lite/includes/class-smart-tags.php. Error message: syntax error,
   unexpected end of file, expecting ‘,’ or ‘)’
 * WordPress version 5.4
    Current theme: HeatMap AdAptive (version 1.5.3) Current
   plugin: WPForms Lite (version 1.5.9.5) PHP version 7.2.29
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@wpodeskstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpodeskstar/),
 * If you are not able to access your WordPress admin area, you can first try to
   deactivate WPForms Lite via FTP by following [this tutorial](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-manually-update-wordpress-plugins-via-ftp/).
 * Once you’ve access to your WordPress admin area, please try updating WPForms 
   Lite to its latest version (currently this is 1.6.0.1) to see if it resolves 
   the issue.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, you may want to test for possible conflict
   using the steps described in our detailed guide on [how to test for plugin/theme conflicts](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-test-for-theme-or-plugin-conflicts/).
 * Hope this helps!
