 * Hello,
    after the last update of Facebook Feed WD to version 1.0.31 I got a parse
   error. My complete homepage was unavailable. The error message displayed was:“
   parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hp/bi/bi/aa/sr/wwww/wp-content/
   plugins/wd-feed/framework/linkify/LinkifyInterface. php on line 12”. So that 
   my homepage became available again, I commented out the last three lines in the
   file facebook-feed-wd.php. Now my plugin doesn’t work anymore. What can I do 
   to make it work again?

 * I had the same problem after I updated this plugin. I had to use Cpanel (or you
   could use FTP) and navigate to the plugin folder and then rename it (instructions–
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_string-in-6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_string-in-6)).
   That broke the plugin so it wouldn’t load up, but allowed the page to then open.
   Then I restored the page from my last backup and updated all other plugins except
   this one. Hopefully you have a backup you can restore from.

 * Hi,
 * Please, note that the mentioned error is meanly related to the PHP version.
    
   Maybe in the update some functions have been added that caused the error with
   the old PHP versions.
 * Could you please, specify which PHP version are you using?
 * Thanks. Have a nice day.

 * Hi,
 * I used php version 5.2.17. To solve the problem I’ve installed php version 5.3.26,
   but that update didn’t fix the problem. Then I updated to php version 5.6.31 
   and everything was fine.
 * Thanks for the help.

 * I also had 5.2.17. I am going to update and see if I can then update the plugin
   once PHP is updated. Thanks [@wdsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wdsupport/)
   for the information on PHP. That helped a lot.
