Good afternoon, the problem I have is that the web in the working directory in which I have been developing it works perfectly but when entering from the
final url gives me the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ')' in /homepages/19/d431537475/htdocs/nuevo/wp-content/plugins/toolset-maps/includes/toolset-common-functions.php on line 1067

What could be the problem?

Thanks a lot for your support.

Hi, can you try the following troubleshooting steps?
- If you have not been able to turn off the Maps plugin, log in to the server with FTP or SSH and change the name of the Maps plugin folder at /wp-content/plugins/toolset-maps to toolset-maps-backup
- Try the site again. If you are able to see the site now without the parse error, please check to be sure Types and Views have been installed and are up-to-date. Then revert the the toolset-maps folder.
- Temporarily switch to a default theme like Twenty Seventeen, then try to reactivate Maps.
- If you continue to experience the parse error, please rename the folder again so you can get into wp-admin. Then delete the Maps plugin, download a fresh copy from https://toolset.com/account/downloads, and install it again.

Let me know the results.
