 * I can not access my admin on WP, I am getting the following code.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘::’ (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) in /XXX/XXX/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/the-seo-framework-extension-manager/inc/traits/
   core/ui.trait.php on line 174
 * It has not affected the site itself and is still accessible to the public. Any
   ideas what would cause this?

 * Hi [@commodoremac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/commodoremac/)
 * Because of my oversight to the script handler migration for the Extension Manager,
   the update caused an issue for older PHP versions. Please refer my answer here
   for [further details and a resolution](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backend-broken-after-update-to-2-0-2/#post-11138812).

 * Thank you for the quick reply. I updated my server to PHP 7 and everything is
   working properly.

 * Awesome! I’m glad it worked out, and I hope you like the performance boost that
   came with PHP 7, too 🙂
