When I try to activate mainWP child 4.1.5 on WP 5.7 that is also embedding mainWP admin I get this:
Fatal error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘-’, expecting ‘(’ /home/domain/mainwp/wp-content/plugins/mainwp-child/class/class-mainwp-utility.php(87) : eval()'d code on line 3
I read this Add your MainWP Dashboard as a Child - MainWP WordPress Management but i’m stuck at this step. It used to work before upgrading the WP 5.6 (I think)
Hi Guillaume,
thanks for reaching out.
I have reviewed logs on my test sites, but I can’t duplicate this error on our test sites.
However, since the problem comes from the eval() function, I am assuming that this error comes from your custom code snippet.
Do you use the Code Snippets extension? If yes, please review your activate snippets and check for the Parse error.
Thanks
As far as I know, we don’t use the custom code snippet plugin 
could it be related to MainWP Custom Dashboard Extension?
I don’t think that the Custom Dashboard extension could cause it. Just the MainWP Code Snippets Extension.
Can you please post the community system report from your MainWP Dashboard for review? The report is located in your Dashboard under Status → Server, on the top right of the page.

Hi Guillaume,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I see that the Code Snippets extension is not in use.
But are you sure it wasn’t used in the past?
If you install this extension, do you see in the Snippets list if there are any custom snippet saved?
you’re right, I think we’ve tried Code Snippet in the past because we’re right now coding an add-on to mainWP. But I don’t see anything in /wp-content/plugins
nor in /wp-content/uploads
Do you advice an other distant folder?
Hi Guillaume,
thanks for getting back to me.
Even though you have uninstalled the extension, if you haven’t removed snippets that you used prior to that, they are still saved to the child sites.
It may be best to simply install the extension again and see what shows up. Once installed, you will be able to remove previously used snippets.
See here:
Or if easier, you can simply do it this way:
Hi Bogdan! Actually this issue was related to custom dashboard add-on where we still had unnecessary php and js code. Removing everything allowed to activate the child of itself.
Hi Guillaume,
thanks for letting us know.
I am happy to see that the problem is resolved.
