# Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘clone’ (T_CLONE)

 * Hi,
    We’re getting the error below when we attempt to log into admin or access
   any admin pages. _Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘clone’ (T\_CLONE) in/
   homepages/XXXXX/XXXXX/XXXXX/wp-content/plugins/multipay/settings.php on line 
   157_
 * I got in by renaming the plugin folder but when I reactivate it the issue returns.
   
   I removed the plugin and reinstalled but get the same issue with following message
   in admin: _Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. 
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘clone’ (T\_CLONE) in /homepages/XXXXX/
   XXXXX/XXXXX/wp-content/plugins/multipay/settings.php on line 157
 * WordPress 5 – although the issue was first spotted in 4.9.8 prior to the upgrade.
 * Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance. Steve

 * Im happy to know that MultiPay is now working for you. However, you did identify
   an underlying issue that we have now fixed in version 1.4.2 so please do update!
   
   Happy selling 🙂
