Title: T_STRING issue Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # T_STRING issue * Resolved [filpass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filpass/) * (@filpass) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/) * Hi * I just got the following message on my webpage: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ * in web/wp-content/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/video-embed-thumbnail- generator.php on line 1889 * I checked line 1889 but the ‘;’ is there. * My whole blog is now blocked, no one can access it. HELP! * Does anyone have any idea where this T_STRING suddenly came from, and how to fix this bug? * Thanks a lot for your help! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [Kyle Gilman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylegilman/) * (@kylegilman) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/#post-3493487) * Start by disabling the plugin. That will enable access to your blog. Have you recently modified your template or installed another plugin? I suspect something has changed in wp_head() which is on the line before it. * Thread Starter [filpass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filpass/) * (@filpass) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/#post-3493654) * Hi Kyle * thanks a lot for your advice! By disabling and re-enabling the plugin, everything works now. * Just before this issue appeared, I had indeed made a general update of all my plugins as well as WordPress. * I am currently using WP 3.5.1. * Thread Starter [filpass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filpass/) * (@filpass) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/#post-3493710) * Dear Kyle, * I am really sorry, but the same issue is now back, with exactly the same error message, and my blog is again not accessible. * Would you have maybe another idea how to fix this bug? * Thanks again for your help! * Plugin Author [Kyle Gilman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylegilman/) * (@kylegilman) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/#post-3493711) * Does it make a difference if you change line 1888 to `echo (wp_head());` * Thread Starter [filpass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filpass/) * (@filpass) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/#post-3493712) * I had uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, so I do not know if the change to echo (wp_head()); made a difference. * I will see if the blog can “hold” a few days, and then it will mean that you fixed the bug! * I will keep you posted on that. * The error message actually came back only about 2 days after I uninstalled and re-installed the plugin, and not immediately afterwards. * Thread Starter [filpass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filpass/) * (@filpass) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/#post-3493735) * Dear Kyle * unfortunately my blog is down again. The modification I made in line 1889 from echo wp_head(); to echo(wp_head()); did apparently not fix the problem. * The curious thing is also that this problem occurs approximately two days after I uninstall-reinstall the plugin, and not straight after I reinstall it. * In your previous message you mentioned line 1888 echo “\n”; and I changed line 1889 echo wp_head(); * Maybe I made a mistake here? * Plugin Author [Kyle Gilman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylegilman/) * (@kylegilman) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/#post-3493736) * Line 1888 in version 3.1 is `echo wp_head();` [http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/tags/3.1/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php#L1888](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/tags/3.1/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php#L1888) * and line 1889 is `echo "\n";` [http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/tags/3.1/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php#L1889](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/tags/3.1/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php#L1889) * It’s strange that the code in your plugin is one line off. Have you tried completely removing all the plugin files and reinstalling? (note that there’s a bug in this version that will give you an error if you try to uninstall through WordPress) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘T_STRING issue’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/assets/icon.svg?rev=2965979) * [Videopack](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Kyle Gilman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylegilman/) * Last activity: [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/t_string-issue/#post-3493736) * Status: resolved
