Litespeed Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’

    After an automatic update (since it happened without user intervention), our website refuses to open.

    I get following error message: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /home/aikidoca/public_html/cabn/wp-content/plugins/litespeed-cache/src/admin-display.cls.php on line 361”

    Of course, I looked up on the internet for this error. I also looked into this file ‘admin-display.cls.php’. On line 361 I find the ‘)’, but the ‘)’ should really be there. Thus the real error is somewhere else.

    Does anybody have a clue? Should we just wait until the error is fixed with a newer update? The automatic update seems to have happened on 11th September 2025 (time stamp of the files).

    Thank you in advance.

    @ulrichviridis do you have access to ftp? OR server panel?
    Delete litespeed-cache from public_html/wp-content/plugins
    and try reinstall it

    I have acces to cPanel.

    I moved /litespeed-cache from /public_html/wp-content/plugins into trash.

    Now I get following error message: Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “>= 7.4.0”. You are running 7.2.34. in /home/aikidoca/public_html/cabn/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

    It didn’t really solve the issue. Should I try to upgrade PHP from within cPanel?

    [Edit] I upgraded the website to PHP 8.3, but no change in the error message.

    @ulrichviridis can you confirm PHP 8.3 is loaded?
    Add a file info.php witch content: <?php phpinfo(); run the file and see which PHP version is loaded.

    I upgraded to PHP 7.4 and 8.4. Now the error messages are following.

    There comes a login screen, wich does nothing.

    @ulrichviridis
    I think updating was a good decision.
    The errors seems to come from Yoast plugin.
    You can contact them about the errors, but you can also hide them by disabling WP Debug
    Being warning or deprecation notice will not create errors as far as it works as expected

    @ulrichviridis We narrowed it down and the fix will come in next version of LSC.
    Thank you for reporting the issue 🙂
