 * I am working on using some custom code to do some math on a CF7 form.
 * While I was updating the code to work on a second form, I accidentally put in
   an extra ).
 * Now the plugin causes a fatal error in my WP installation
    [code]Plugin could
   not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting '{' in /home/jthedark/public_html/
   seahg/wp/wp-content/plugins/my-custom-functions/inc/php/functional.php(103) :
   eval()'d code on line 4[/code]
 * I went and deleted the folder from the website and tried to just re-install the
   plugin. Even after deleting the plugin and re-installing, it is still finding
   my old code.
 * Where is “my” code stored so I can go in and fix it to allow the plugin to function?

 * HI
 * I am having the same problem. I followed the instructions from the link you provided,
   which did allow me to reactivate the plug-in, but when i try to access the ‘settings’
   page i get the same error, so cannot get in to edit my faulty code.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘Seeds’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘)’ in /home/
   vitalsee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/my-custom-functions/inc/php/functional.
   php(103) : eval()’d code on line 11
 * Can you advise on this?
 * Many thanks
 * Fred
