error after message customization on activate.php

I have the most current WordPress and Buddypress install (we also have bbpress).

I setup a sidebar for my buddypress pages which includes the buddypress ‘login’ plugin.

When a user activates their registration the message reads:

The original code is:

<p><?php printf( __( ‘Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in with the username and password you provided when you signed up.’, ‘buddypress’ ), wp_login_url( bp_get_root_domain() ) ); ?></p>

I changed it to:

<p><?php printf( __( ‘Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in on the sidebar with the username and password you provided when you signed up.’, ‘buddypress’ ), wp_login_url( bp_get_root_domain() ) ); ?></p>

I also tried:

<p>Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in with the username and password you provided when you signed up.</p>

This change is trigering this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘else’ (T_ELSE) in /home/admin/public_html/wp-content/themes/Divi-Child/buddypress/members/activate.php on line 47

I am not a programmer. I don’t know how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

It would still be great to know the answer to the original inquiry in case it helps others.

I did find an alternate solution to completely bypass the activate.php page by using this plugin: (BuddyDev) BP Auto Login on Activation (https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-autologin-on-activation/) By Brajesh Singh(BuddyDev.com).

When a user gets their activation email and clicks on the activation link, the user is redirected to their profile page. A message is displayed above the profile navigation indicating the account has been activated.

The following code won’t cause the parse error:
```
<p><?php printf(
    __( 'Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in on the sidebar with the username and password you provided when you signed up.', 'your-theme-domain' ),
    wp_login_url( bp_get_root_domain() )
); ?></p>
```
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘else’ (T_ELSE) in /home/admin/public_html/wp-content/themes/Divi-Child/buddypress/members/activate.php on line 47

This is referring to an else statement on line 47 of activate.php. What do you have on line 47?

Ah, I should have compared the code a little closer. My bad.

It was missing an <?php endif; ?> statement going from one <?php else : ?> to another.

Now I know. 🙂
