I have successfully migrated wordpress site to my localhost using "All-in-One WP Migration" plugin.

But I am getting errors on some pages:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in C:\xampp\apps\wordpress\htdocs\wp-content\themes\XXX\XXXXpage.php on line 112

editing that file, there is some hard-to-read 'if else' statement wih 'HTML tags'

one error I have fixed was changing

<?if (!is_mobile() && !is_tablet()){?>

to

<?php if (!is_mobile() && !is_tablet()){?>

anybody knows why the first statement worked on my web, but not on localhost? perhaps due to some PHP version?

Some PHP versions require the explicit declaration of <?php instead of just <? declarations or the other way around. Settings such as short_open_tag in your php.ini file.

PHP Short Tags are enabled on your web server & its disabled on your localhost. the solution is to either turn on short tags or write full code.

Solution One Enable short tags.

  • open up php.ini file
  • set short_open_tag=On
  • and Restrat Apache server

Solution two replace short tags with full
