In your code the ‘ and ” are messed up in line 17 and 19. That’s why there is a red X.
You need to replace in your code:

• ‘ => '
• ” => "

This code should be fine if you copy it:

<?php
  if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
    echo do_shortcode('[smartslider3 slider="2"]');
  } else {
    echo do_shortcode('[smartslider3 slider="3"]');
  }
?>

Hi @mmhgloba,
At first please upload the content of that file what cPanel marks syntactically incorrent. Please upload it to pastebin as ww.wp.xz.cn forum mess up characters if you do not mark it as code: https://pastebin.com/

Also I can comfirm you that the code what Ramona sent you is syntactically correct:

<?php
  if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
    echo do_shortcode('[smartslider3 slider=1]');
  } else {
    echo do_shortcode('[smartslider3 slider=2]');
  }
?>

Also the linked file is correct too: https://pastebin.com/zgnrq5Gz

Ps.: Please be aware of thatthere are several cPanel versions/themes and we are not able to see what you see on your screen. Also our solution is not related to cPanel or any other server configuration panel. You need to change the file in any way supported by your host. This is why we tell we are not familiar with that cPanel error.

Hi @ben72,
thank you for your feedback! It seems like Ithemes Sync is some kind of paid service. https://ithemes.com/sync/

I would suggest you contact with them first as it seems like that their update is failing. ww.wp.xz.cn plugins are always use the in-built update mechanism of WordPress, so this bug should be related to that service. There are no update related codes in Smart Slider as WordPress contains them, this is why I think it is not in a bug in Smart Slider 3.

If you stuck with Ithemes and it happens for you again, let me know and we will get in touch with them to figure out what is going on.

@dovyp, thank you for the feedback! 🙂 We just pushed out this fix in version 3.4.1.9

@check2020de, I’m happy that you were able to solve that issue!

In private, I reported you a non Smart Slider related slow down issue on your site. It might help your optimize your WordPress site even further 🙂

@check2020de, well, this updated package,- that I sent you – should not slow down your site I think. Disabling “jQuery load on frontend”without loading your own jQuery might cause this. The best would be if we could check your site.

We are not testing Smart Slider 3 for downgrade, so I’m not sure about that error. Better to update back to the public release of 3.4.1.8.

Hi @gazza321,
Smart Slider 3 requires PHP version 7.0 or newer. Please update your PHP version on your server or ask your hosting about it. Smart Slider 3 will not work on PHP 5.6.40, I’m sorry.

If you check WordPress itself recommends to use PHP 7.3+: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/requirements/

Hi @dovyp,
thank you for reporting this issue. Finally I was able to reproduce it.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install and activate Smart Slider 3 and Redux Framework from ww.wp.xz.cn
2. Admin area -> Tools -> Redux Framework -> Enable demo mode
3. Sidebar -> Sample options -> Typography -> Body font -> pick a Google font and save
4. Edit a page and place a slider created with Smart Slider 3

Result: The CSS styling is missing for the slider.

Could you try the following installer which contains the fix? If it works fine for you too, we will release an update soon. https://www.dropbox.com/s/60xdylpjagmdjue/smart-slider3-wordpress-free.zip?dl=1
