The line 175 stated is have add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_bxjs' );

Answer 1

You have issue with php default and short tags.

<? ... ?>   PHP short tag
<?php ... ?> PHP default tag

See here for more details

Please replace your last few lines with following code

<?php
}
function add_bxjs() {
    /*wp_enqueue_script(
        'custom-script',
        plugins_url('/bxslider/jquery.bxslider.js', __FILE__ ) ,
        array( 'jquery' )
    );*/
    wp_enqueue_style('bxstyle', plugins_url('/bxslider/jquery.bxslider.css', __FILE__ ));
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery',plugins_url('/bxslider/jquery.min.js', __FILE__ ), array('jquery'));
    wp_enqueue_script('easing',plugins_url('/bxslider/jquery.easing.1.3.js', __FILE__ ), array('jquery'));
    wp_enqueue_script('bxscript',plugins_url('/bxslider/jquery.bxslider.js', __FILE__ ), array('jquery'));
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_bxjs' );
?>
