 * Too of the day to you, excellent people.
    I tried logging in via wp-admin but
   found this feedback below:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/www/partnerwithus.org/wp-content/
   plugins/custom-registration-form-builder-with-submission-manager/includes/class_rm_utilities.
   php on line 1277
 * The last I remember was I updated some plugins.
    Please I need help urgently.
   Please come to my rescue.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fparse-error-460%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * The line causing the error says
    `return ["Spacing","HTMLCustomized","HTMLH","
   HTMLP","HTML","RichText"];`
 * This short array syntax was introduced in PHP 5.4, so my guess is that your are
   using a version prior to that. Contact your host, and ask them to upgrade you
   to PHP 5.6 or even PHP 7.0

 * Thanks Peterspliid for your prompt response. By host, did you mean WordPress 
   or the hosting partner?
 * If it is WordPress, I can’t even login to my WordPress back office ; I mean wp-
   admin.
 * Any way out you know?

 * I mean your ‘hosting parnter’. The people who own the server you are using. If
   you are using the company LiquidNet Hosting, you should contact them.
