 * Hi,
 * I get “Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token” error when I try to sync .po file
   from the .pot file of any plugin or theme in Loco translate.
 * There isn’t neither php error in error.log nor js error on console of my browser.
 * Any solutions, please.

 * I’m guessing you’ve read the [FAQ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/faq-what-is-causing-unexpected-tokencharacter-syntax-error)
   based on these comments about PHP errors.
 * Please post the output of the Ajax request from your browser’s network inspector.

 * It looks like _something_ is adding line breaks before Loco’s Ajax output.
 * This could be coming from any file in any plugin, or even from your theme.
 * It’s a common mistake to add line breaks outside of <?php and ?> tags at the 
   beginning and end of PHP files. You won’t notice this in HTML pages, but it will
   ruin any Ajax requests.
 * I suggest you eliminate the plugin that is doing this by disabling installed 
   plugins one by one. You could also try switching to a different theme to see 
   if theme files are causing it.

 * Switching my theme to default one solved this problem.
 * Thank you for your help.
