PHP log errors from config.php settings in hosting beta

The following settings in wp-config.php

This is a safety switch for plugin code snippets

define(‘CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE’, false);

This is something I have in all my sites with several other similiar settings used for multidoamin setups. This is also recommended to solve a problem with CDN Cloudflare and plugins like your "multisite privacy'

if ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] ) && 'https' === $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] ) {

$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

}

Checking hosting log I see these errors.

The following errors in php log

    Hello Lee

    Did you copy the code from somewhere and pasted it in wp-config.php file? Because it seems the issue is single quote character you used there.

    So as a try, would you please delete the single quote and type it yourself for every define and code you added?

    If that’s not the issue, would you please put your wp-config.php file in http://pastebin.com and send me the link? MAKE SURE you remove the DB information before you save in pastebin.

    Have a nice day!

    Cheers,

    Ash

    No it is not the quote 8 have single quotes in other sites. Also I changed them and got the same warnings.

    I think maybe the hosting beta is scanning for non standard wp-config.php files and reporting warnings. Could you check to see if there are any limits before we go down the trouble shooting path of syntax?

    Thanks

    Hello Lee

    There is no such limitation in the hosting that you can’t use non-standard wp config or other files. You can keep your defines in any file and include it, that’s not a problem.

    Now, let’s look at the warning:

    PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant ‘CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE’ – assumed ‘‘CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE’’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)

    It says CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE is undefined and it is assuming it as ‘‘CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE’’ – notice it added a quote around that. That made me thinking the issue with the quote.

    So, would you please send me your full config file wiping the db info, using http://pastebin.com and I will use the same file on my site? So let me know.

    Have a nice day!

    Cheers,

    Ash
