Title: Error : Unexpected token ‘<', " Snippets code Last modified: June 15, 2026 --- # Error : Unexpected token ‘<', " Snippets code * [falizeblondel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/falizeblondel/) * (@falizeblondel) * [1 day, 2 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-unexpected-token-snippets-code/) * Hello, * I have been experiencing a very frustrating issue with WP Extended for several months. * I can still create new snippets without any problem. However, once a snippet has been created, I am unable to: - Enable the snippet - Update the snippet - Delete the snippet * Every time I attempt one of these actions, I receive the following error: * **Unexpected token ‘<‘** * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.ibb.co/XZF0BZ4h/image.png?ssl=1) * What makes this issue particularly strange is that snippet creation works perfectly, but any attempt to modify, enable, or delete an existing snippet consistently fails. * As a workaround, I have to connect via FTP and manually delete the files from the **wpextended-snippets** directory before recreating the snippets through the interface. As you can imagine, this makes maintenance extremely time-consuming and cumbersome, especially for simple code changes, considering that I currently have around ten active snippets. * I have already performed numerous tests to try to identify the cause of the issue: - Checked whether the REST API was being blocked. - Completely disabled Wordfence. - Disabled all caching on the website. - Disabled several other plugins that could potentially cause conflicts. - Performed various compatibility and cookie-related troubleshooting tests. * Despite all these efforts, the **“Unexpected token ‘<‘”** error continues to occur. * I may have overlooked something. Do you have any suggestions regarding the possible cause of this issue, or could you recommend a more advanced troubleshooting procedure? * If necessary, I can provide: - Browser console logs - Network tab errors/responses - Information about my WordPress environment - The current version of WP Extended that I am using * Thank you in advance for your assistance.

All snippets are affected without exception. * Once a snippet has been created, I cannot edit it, enable it, or delete it through the plugin. The only way to remove a snippet is to manually delete its file via FTP. * [tdrayson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tdrayson/) * (@tdrayson) * [1 day, 1 hour ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-unexpected-token-snippets-code/#post-18938432) * Would you be able to share login details via email to [support@wpextended.io](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-unexpected-token-snippets-code/support@wpextended.io?output_format=md) please so we can take a further look. * Thread Starter [falizeblondel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/falizeblondel/) * (@falizeblondel) * [1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-unexpected-token-snippets-code/#post-18938540) * Hello, * Thank you for your reply. * Unfortunately, for security and compliance reasons, I am not able to provide my WordPress login credentials. * This website is a professional corporate website owned by the company where I am employed, and I am not authorized to share administrator access with third parties.
