Title: Parse Error Upon Update Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Parse Error Upon Update * Resolved [nkiw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nkiw/) * (@nkiw) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-upon-update/) * Recently updated ShareThis plugin to 7.0.1 and the plugin deactivated. I received this fatal error message: * **_Parse error:_** syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /home/…./public_html/ wp-content/plugins/share-this/sharethis.php on line 32 * The code for sharethis.php is below. I know very little about php, so I can’t tell what’s wrong with line 32 and what needs to be fixed. Any input would be appreciated: * _[Way too much code to post here – please see the forum rules re: posting code and **use a pastebin** – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum\_Welcome#Posting\_Code](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code)]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [michaelisc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelisc/) * (@michaelisc) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-upon-update/#post-3935851) * Same here- [http://www.campamerican.com](http://www.campamerican.com) * [LeaParis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leaparis/) * (@leaparis) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-upon-update/#post-3935853) * I have the same exact problem!

We went ahead and issued a new release (v. 7.0.2). This is up now. This release should resolve the issue. * We really appreciate the quick feedback. Thanks again for your patience and for using ShareThis! * [kevwaresf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevwaresf/) * (@kevwaresf) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-upon-update/#post-3935973) * Do we need the update for any specific issue? * [ronsharethis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronsharethis/) * (@ronsharethis) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-upon-update/#post-3935985) * Hi kevwaresf, * 7.0 has an update for a new UI, which allows you add new ShareThis tools you otherwise wouldn’t be able to before. * For 7.0, the best update to get is 7.0.2. This had UI fixes for Internet Explorer. * Hope that helps! * [rlweiner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rlweiner/) * (@rlweiner) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-upon-update/#post-3936041) * 7.0.2 worked.
