That should let it run without the plugin. If that doesn’t work, keep renaming plugin folders until it does. * login and it should deactivate the plugin if not do it yourself. Once it’s deactivated you should see everything come back. * Thread Starter [gjhdigital](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gjhdigital/) * (@gjhdigital) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-parse-error-syntax-error-6/#post-13426068) * [@mikruzo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikruzo/) thats what I did already, but still cant use Ninja Forms until they fix this bug. * [Intriguing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intriguingmedia/) * (@intriguingmedia) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-parse-error-syntax-error-6/#post-13426368) * We were having the same issue on a site. Strange thing is that we don’t have auto-update set and today the site just went down and that version was installed. * For a temporary solution, we’re able to pull an older version of the plugin and replace it until Ninja Forms rolls out an update. We also sent them a support request. * [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.29.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.29.zip) is the current version that’s causing issues for us. * Just work backwards untill you get a version that works on your site. * [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.28.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.28.zip) [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.27.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.27.zip) [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.25.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.25.zip) [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.24.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.24.zip) [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.23.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.23.zip) [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.22.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.22.zip) [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.21.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.21.zip) [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.20.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ninja-forms.3.4.20.zip) * Hope that helps! - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [Intriguing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intriguingmedia/). * [dotcompals](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotcompals/) * (@dotcompals) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-parse-error-syntax-error-6/#post-13426716) * Hi, as several of ninja form users, i am also experiencing this error. * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘::’ (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) in /wp-content/ plugins/ninja-forms/ninja-forms.php on line 354 * Hope there will be a fix soon. * [Email SS](https://cln.sh/sXobRC) * [pro_wp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pro_wp/) * (@pro_wp) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-parse-error-syntax-error-6/#post-13428250) * If you want to fix it temporarily, change line 354 from * require_once Ninja_Forms()::$dir . ‘blocks/ninja-forms-blocks.php’; * to * require_once Ninja_Forms::$dir . ‘blocks/ninja-forms-blocks.php’; * Plugin Contributor [Justin McElhaney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmcelhaney/) * (@jmcelhaney) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-parse-error-syntax-error-6/#post-13649121) * [@pro_wp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pro_wp/) [@dotcompals](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotcompals/) [@intriguingmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intriguingmedia/) [@gjhdigital](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gjhdigital/) [@mikruzo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikruzo/) Can you make sure that you are updated to the latest version of Ninja Forms, 3.4.30 and see if you are still having the same issue?
