 * Your “php-text-widget” plugin seems to be the issue.
 * Therefore, try deactivating this via [FTP or SFTP ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)
   or whatever file management application your host provides.

 * I am going to cpanel, where do I go in?
    To the php configuration? Do I select
   php cur? Or do I go ahead and delete the plugin and install it again?

 * Alvaro you would navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and then delete or rename the
   folder for the problematic plugin.

 * Hi Richard, thanks for the response, but still having problems, when you say 
   navigate to….do you mean on my host (c-panel) or my wordpress page.

   screen, I don´t see where to change the name? Do I Just delete the plugin?

 * In your plugins directory, there must be a folder for “php-text-widget” plugin.
   
   Delete it.

 * I tried that, and I was installing another php plugin, but it was not working
   well with the text and codes already written in the last plugin, is there something
   else I should do? Do you recommend another php text plugin?

   php widget (Different from the last one), but I am still getting pretty much

   wp-content/plugins/enhanced-text-widget/enhanced-text-widget.php(83) : eval()’

 * Its likely that these plugins and your theme are conflicting.
 * Therefore, contact the theme developers and ask them because they are the one
   who can answer for they they know how they have setup their theme and they have
   the access to its code.
 * Thus, instead of wasting your precious time, my suggestion would be to contact
   them. You’ll be more likely to find a good answer from your theme’s developers,
   for they have the access to its code. WP Codex: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)
