Getting a similar error: * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ‘)’ in /home/devsite/ public_html/WooTest/wp-content/plugins/woo-order-export-lite/classes/class-wc- order-export-admin.php on line 636 * Maybe you can answer our questions. * What we’re trying to test with this: We’d like to be able to export a list of sales – say from the last 14 days and group products by attribute. So for example, we’d like to see that we sold 20 shirts (whose sizes are listed as an attribute in WooCommerce) – 5 smalls, 10 mediums, 2 larges and 3 XL. * We’d also like to pull a different report (as a CSV or something for a mail merge) that would allow us to print shipping labels (in Word or whatever) for all orders in a given time (last 5 days or whatever). * Can we do those two things with this plugin? * Plugin Author [algol.plus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/algolplus/) * (@algolplus) * [8 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-activate-getting-syntax-error/#post-9235116) * hi * Why can’t you upgrade php? 5.2 is really old version. I can’t promise to fix this issue quickly. as there are a lot of other features to develop. * if each variation uses own sku – you can adapt code “Summary by Products” at [this page](https://algolplus.com/plugins/code-samples/). * yes, Pro supports multiple profiles and scheduled reports too. * thanks, Alex Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Can’t activate – getting syntax error’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/woo-order-export-lite/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1365554) * [Advanced Order Export For WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-order-export-lite/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-order-export-lite/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woo-order-export-lite/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woo-order-export-lite/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woo-order-export-lite/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woo-order-export-lite/reviews/) * 11 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [algol.plus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/algolplus/) * Last activity: [8 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-activate-getting-syntax-error/#post-9235116) * Status: not resolved
