 * Hi,
 * Hoping you can help. We just updated Ninja Forms plugin to latest update and 
   it caused the site to go down. I renamed the file to deactivate the plugin so
   I could see the error. The error appearing is:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘->’ (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR) in /home/composi5/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/ninja-forms/includes/Routes/Submissions.php on
   line 716
 * Any ideas what I can do to fix this please?
 * Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fparse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_object_operator-9%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Had the same problem, plugin was deactivated.
 * Solution was to upgrade the PHP version from 5.6 to 7.3. Then I was able toe 
   reactivate the plugin and everything works fine now.

   I am sorry for the trouble. [@hinsert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hinsert/)
   is correct. Can you update your PHP version to at least PHP 7.2 and let us know
   if you are still having the same issue. WordPress recommends PHP 7.4 or later.

 * This is also happening in PHP 7.4 and 8.0:
 * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '->' (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR) in /(path)/wp-
   content/plugins/ninja-forms/includes/Routes/Submissions.php on line 717`

   ninja forms start working.
