Hi therembrandt,
What file were you editing when you got the error?
i was editing the login page function in the themes.php
`// define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
//define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );
require_once( dirname )( __FILE__ ) .
define( ‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);
define(‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’),
(0705 & ~ umask()));
define(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’), (0604 & ~ umask()));
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
these are my lines 80 to 88. can you see any obvious issue? im not a coding expert
Perhaps one too many “)” in each of these:
[…spread them out to see better]
( 0705 & ~ umask() ) );
define('FS_CHMOD_FILE'), ( 0604 & ~ umask() ) );
Should be:
( 0705 & ~ umask() );
define('FS_CHMOD_FILE'), ( 0604 & ~ umask() );
Thanks for your response,
just imported that line into the loop but same code error code still occurring.
I missed this.
Looked it up in Codex: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Editing_wp-config.php#Override_of_default_file_permissions
The original on this link is:
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', ( 0755 & ~ umask() ) );
define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( 0644 & ~ umask() ) );
So, for yours, instead of:
define('FS_CHMOD_DIR'),
(0705 & ~ umask()));
define('FS_CHMOD_FILE'), (0604 & ~ umask()));
should it be:
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', ( 0705 & ~ umask() ) );
define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( 0604 & ~ umask() ) );
This is what the page looks like right now after your suggested alterations:
// define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
//define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );
require_once ( dirname ) (__FILE__);
define( ‘FS_METHOD’ ‘direct’);
define( ‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’, ( 0705 & ~ umask() ) );
define( ‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’, ( 0604 & ~ umask() ) );
The same message is occurring, however instead of “unexpected ‘ ” it is saying “unexpected ‘(‘ ” this is still on line 82
this being line 82
require_once ( dirname ) (__FILE__);
Which should read: dirname(__FILE__)
hence: unexpected ‘(‘
i have implemented this code also and now i am getting the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘(‘ in /home/content/n3pnexwpnas02_data02/38/2983638/html/wp-config.php on line 84
these are lines 84 and 85:
define(‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’) ( 0705 & ~ umask()
define(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’, ( 0604 & ~ umask() ) );
there just seems to be a new problem with each solve. i have tried calling my hosting company and they have said they will try to restore my database to its previous state a few days ago.

@therembrandt, Please change your SALT keys as soon as you can and take care not to post sensitive data.
You didn’t copy/paste correctly.
This:
define(‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’) ( 0705 & ~ umask()
Should be this:
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', ( 0705 & ~ umask() ) );
This is fine:
define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( 0604 & ~ umask() ) );
Look at my post above with the codes in it.
Ok, i just pasted it like this with your suggested code structure:
// define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
//define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );
require_once dirname (__FILE__);
define( ‘FS_METHOD’);
define( ‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’, ( 0705 & ~ umask() ) );
define(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’, ( 0604 & ~ umask() ) );
and am given this new message when trying to load the site:
Warning: require_once(/home/content/n3pnexwpnas02_data02/38/2983638/html): failed to open stream: Success in /home/content/n3pnexwpnas02_data02/38/2983638/html/wp-config.php on line 82

define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( 0604 & ~ umask() ) );
Please remember, never post any vital info on forums, even if someone asks for it to assist you.
Let’s go back to square one here…
First… do you have a copy of your original wp-config.php on your computer from when you installed the site on your host?
If so…
1 – open that wp-config.php file and make sure all the basic necessary info is correct – db_name, db_user, db_password, etc.
2 – access your site via your file manager or by FTP
3 – download the current problem wp-config to your computer
4 – upload your original wp-config.php to your site to replace the problem one
4 – your site should be back to working order
To the problem…

“while trying to edit the problem via the dashboard>appearance>editor method“
Which file were you editing?
