    Getting an bug or error with the Strict URL’s plugin.

    syntax error, unexpected '<'
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/user/public_html/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(746) : eval()'d code on line 1



    • htaccess looks fine.
    • SEO StrictURLs re-installed (and the two settings checkmarked)
    • removed the two \\ lines before the <?php

      plugin code shouldn’t be wrapped in php tags .... remove the "<?php" too

        Wow, it worked. I wonder why plugin creators have those PHP tags around it anyways.

          Most likely to trigger syntax color-coding in their editors. It also works on the forums; if you enclose code in the code tags (using the # sign icon in the editor’s menu bar) and have the PHP tags, the code will be color-coded, making it easier to read and understand.
