 * Hello,
 * We are getting this error on our server over and over. We downgraded to the previous
   version of w3tc and the error didn’t clear. Any idea what could cause this error?
 * > PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /files/sites/plugins/live/
   > plugins/w3-total-cache/PgCache_ContentGrabber.php(1760) : eval()’d code on 
   > line 1
   >  PHP Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown 
   > on line 0
 * Thanks

 * I narrowed it down to one site. It occurs when I enable page cache.

 * Hello [@jamesdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesdev/),
 * Can you please share what settings you have enabled in Performance>Page Cache?
   
   What are your current PHP and WP version? When did those errors start to appear?

 * Hello [@jamesdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesdev/),
 * Just a follow-up, you should add a try catch around that line in the plugin, 
   echo the content and die in the catch. That way he can debug the content processed
   by the content grabber so we can help further.
