 * Hey there [@jsaezc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsaezc/) thank you for
   contacting us.
 * I’m really sorry for the inconvenience on this one. Could you please confirm 
   which PHP version are you running on your site? If it’s an old unsupported version,
   then it will most likely cause this issue.
 * I would suggest updating it to a more recent version.
 * Let us know how it goes.
 * Jorge
