QA plugin caused 500 Internal Server Error

Plugin worked fine, I put 100+ questions in it and suddenly whole wordpress broke. Error report said ”PHP message: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:wink:’ in /wp-content/plugins/qa/core/core.php on line 544″. I looked up a code through IDE and I found this function:

function the_title( $the_title ) {

global $wp_query;

//var_dump($wp_query);

if ( in_the_loop() && is_archive( 'question' ) ) {

$qa_class  = ( is_question_answered() ) ? "qa-answered-icon" : "qa-unanswered-icon";

$qa_status = '<div class="qa-status-icon ' . $qa_class . '"></div>';



return ();

} else {

return ();

}

}

Line 544 is return (); statement and it’s invalid code according to IDE syntax checker.

Can you look it up and solve this issue?

    Hi Gabriel ,

    Hope you’re doing well today!

    You made modifications in the code, the original one is:

    function the_title( $the_title ) {
    

    
global $wp_query;
    

    
//var_dump($wp_query);
    

    
if ( in_the_loop() && is_archive( 'question' ) ) {
    

    
$qa_class  = ( is_question_answered() ) ? "qa-answered-icon" : "qa-unanswered-icon";
    

    
$qa_status = '<div class="qa-status-icon ' . $qa_class . '"></div>';
    

    
return $qa_status . $the_title;
    

    
} else {
    

    
return $the_title;
    

    
}
    

    
}

    I am unaware what modifications were made and their purpose, however change both “returns” from:

    return ();

    to

    return ;

    I hope this information has been helpful. If I can help you in this or other questions, please let me know!

    Cheers, Luís
