Hi there,
A “parse error” in Elementor forms typically indicates a syntax issue within the code or a configuration problem.
Here are some general troubleshooting steps and common reasons for parse errors in Elementor forms:
- Check Code Syntax:
- Ensure that any custom code you’ve added to the form widget or the form’s confirmation email/notification is correctly written and doesn’t contain any syntax errors. A missing semicolon, parenthesis, or curly bracket can cause a parse error.
- Invalid or Outdated Code:
- If you’ve recently added custom code to the form, review it to ensure it’s valid and up-to-date, as older or unsupported code might result in parse errors after updates or changes to Elementor.
- Plugins or Theme Conflicts:
- Deactivate other plugins or switch to a default theme temporarily to see if the parse error persists. Conflicting plugins or themes might be causing the issue.
- Elementor Version Compatibility:
- Ensure that your Elementor plugin and the theme are up to date. An outdated version might conflict with other components or cause issues with custom code.
- WordPress Debug Mode:
- Enable WordPress debug mode (
WP_DEBUG
) to get more specific error messages that can help identify the issue. To do this, set WP_DEBUG
to true
in the wp-config.php
file of your WordPress installation.
