Doesn’t work. Same error. Have you had any success with this fix? I assume you tested it elsewhere?

Yep, errors out on the default twentyeleven theme as well:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''('' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/vsb/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 42

And no, double quotes doesn’t make a difference, unfortunately. Still that stubborn error.

This is the entirety of functions.php:

<?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage VSB_Custom_Theme
 */

function filter_tptn_list_count( $tptn_list_count ) {
	$tptn_list_count = preg_replace(? '(', '', $tptn_list_count );
	$tptn_list_count = preg_replace(? ')', '', $tptn_list_count );

	return $tptn_list_count;
}
add_filter( 'tptn_list_count', 'filter_tptn_list_count' );

?>

So it looks like line 8 (or line 45 when I don’t delete everything else) is:

$tptn_list_count = preg_replace(? '(', '', $tptn_list_count );

or, before your most recent suggestion:

$tptn_list_count = str_replace(? '(', '', $tptn_list_count );

Same error. I again removed every other function but this one and still:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''('' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/vsb/public_html/wp-content/themes/VSB2014/functions.php on line 8

Hi Ajay,

The php is closed properly; the ?> is in place. I have a few other functions in there I wrote previously and they’re working as expected.

I tried the snippet above previous to my response yesterday. Tried it again today as the sole function in the file and it still threw that same T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING syntax error I pasted above. I’m at a loss unfortunately.

Hey Ajay, thanks for the response.

The error I get using the snippet you posted on github is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'array' (T_ARRAY) in /home/vsb/public_html/wp-content/themes/VSB2014/functions.php on line 45

And the error I get using the second one is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''('' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/vsb/public_html/wp-content/themes/VSB2014/functions.php on line 45

Any ideas? Thanks again.

Hi, Ajay. Thanks a lot for the plugin. I was trying to remove the parentheses as well but this function throws an array error. Is there an update or alternate method?
