Code snippet in php.

Hi John
Thanks for your reply, I´ll try to explain it the best way I can :)

For starters I´ve been working on a new website on a subdomain – today I changed the url to the main domain and moved all folders to the public folder on the ftp-server. All seemed okay.

Then I needed to change some sub-url in the my functions-enfold.php code and suddenly I got the error message: “Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, etc etc”
First time I´ve ever seen that message. First I reinstalled WP and afterwards the enfold theme to overwrite any issues. But I still couldn´t ad text to the functions file. – so my question is: Have you come across a similar issue before and do you know what could be causing it?

In my desperation to find a solution I contacted my web-support and they told me that the code snippet “if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) ){ die(); }” looks like a hack..?? And that it might have something to do with it..
I googled it and found serveral different explanations. So again: Do you know what it is and if it has any negative effect?

Hope this has been helpful.

Hi Victoria
Thank you for your reply and for confirming that the code was legit.

I honestly don’t know how or where to clear a server log or if I even should (: – But I’ve manage to edit directly in the .php on the server, and this seemed to work. Still can’t edit inside WP – so any suggestions toward a solution is most welcome. I’ve considered to use a plugin like WP Editor as a supplement, but I’ll prefer to solve it the “right way” if possible.

Best regards
