I broke it now. I can no longer preview in browser. Get below error:

**Parse error** : syntax error, unexpected identifier “version” in **/Users/robertsimoneau/Library/Containers/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverelements/Data/tmp/RapidWeaver/66338/RWDocumentPagePreview/document-F6E7DF33-CB82-44BB-A2DD-42E0C57E4152/awards/potaawards/index.php** on line **126**

I can publish and view the page with no problem.\*\*

I can go as far as **/Users/robertsimoneau/Library/Containers/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverelements/Data/tmp,** but the tmp folder is empty. If that is useful information.

Can you try quitting Elements, and restarting your Mac, that should fix the issue for you.

Can you ensure you’re running Elements 1.3.1 and try again.

Also, do you see the error when trying to preview a new project? or is it just your existing project?

I noticed it was happening for every page which lead me to the Project settings. I then pressed the “Revert to default” button. That fixed it. The only thing that was in there was google analytics 4 code. I will but it back later. Thanks for the quick response.

I put google analytics 4 code back immediately below and it is still working.

Dan: In answer to your question, a new project was fine. It was just my current project, which is now fixed. Thanks again.
