# Parse error: Bolg dead!

 * Welcome
    Yesterday I set minor amendments to the entries and pages today try 
   to open a page and the message I received:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION
   or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/wjjer031/domains/eryniawtrasie.eu/public_html/wp-includes/
   locale.php on line 21
 * This file is compared with the archive both have a date 2015_05_03 and both are
   identical.
    Since I can not go to the website can not be treated with anything
   in the field “reinstall” PHP56 What can you do? and what is this error?
 * And anyway if anyone might know where to find your 3.9PL WordPress and how to
   install it instead of 4.2.2 because I prefer that the party was ‘less’ protected
   than that at the moment does not work!
 * Thank you in advance for your help

 * try **MANUAL** updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to 
   your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT
   the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete
   the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones.
   Read the [Manual Update ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first.
    – **If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (
   including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really
   goes wrong.**

 * No changes after manual updating? yes? then try:
 * – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or
   browser caches.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this
   resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate
   them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s). – If you can’t
   get into your admin dashboard, try [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients). Sometimes, an apparently inactive
   plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the
   mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename
   that folder to mu-plugins-old. – If that does not resolve the issue, try switching
   to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard
   to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
   If you don’t have access to your admin area, use [FTP ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)
   or whatever file management application your host provides. Navigate to /wp-content/
   themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder
   by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name. Alternately, you can remove other
   themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.

 * No way. No change. Still dead.
    I deactivated plugins (2 ways) and rename folders
   of themes and .. no change. 😉

 * No, because thirst cooleye plugin is dead and after few day the site was out.
   It’s on theme not upgradable so i try to fix site thirst.
    What can to do provider?
   If I cant fix a problem I ask him to restore all from backup. But this is the
   final solution.. (no soution 😉 )

 * Thanks – this was a problem with PHP. Hosting showed version 5.6 but was working
   with 4.4
    My friend can test it and help me. Best regards
