Depending on your php version a semicolon missing at the end of a statement will cause errors, which caused you issue. * The php version that I run in my test environment ignores the error. * Thread Starter [karl73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karl73/) * (@karl73) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-after-update-3/#post-8214364) * Ok, thanks for this fast update. I still receive the same error with the latest update 3.5.3 and PHP 5.53 installed. Actually no error with PHP 5.56 which I can only run for test usage. Is there a way to download an earlier version of your plugin somewhere (3.5.1 worked fine)? * Plugin Author [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/) * (@bhaldie) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-after-update-3/#post-8214511) * you can look at the development tab of in wordpress all version all keep there. * You should really think of upgrading your php version it is at end of life and not supported anymore - This reply was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/). * Thread Starter [karl73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karl73/) * (@karl73) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-after-update-3/#post-8214590) * I will update it within the next weeks.
