Media.php Parse errors

  • This morning, when I try to log into 2 of 5 Thesis 1.8-installed WordPress 3.1 RC2 blogs through Bluehost.com, I get similar messages:

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/angelcov/public_html/exciramedia/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1479”

    and

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/angelcov/public_html/shansteffen/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1479”

    I’ve tried to disable all the plugins but that doesn’t help. I can get to the login screen but once I click login, this is the error message I get. These 2 are installed on the same server as a 3rd and the 3rd one is perfectly fine so it isn’t a general technical issue on the server as far as I can tell.

    The other thing is that the former is a very small website – only 7 pages without a blog so there shouldn’t be a size issue either.

    Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated on getting this fixed. Thanks!

  • Download WordPress and re-install the files as if running an upgrade. If there is anything broken in those core files, that should fix it.

    I’m not sure if the Thesis theme changes core files, or if you have any plugins which change them, but in the past I have come across plugins which change them. To be on the safe side, deactivate your plugins by renaming your plugins folder, before you re-upload.

    Also change your theme to the twentyten theme while you re-upload. You can change themes via PHPMyAdmin.
