Title: Plugin Crashes site: Parse Error Last modified: December 5, 2016 --- # Plugin Crashes site: Parse Error * Resolved [nicko62](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicko62/) * (@nicko62) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashes-site-parse-error/) * I’ve tried installing the plugin three times and it keeps crashing the site I am working on. Here’s the error I get: * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/ 48/3774848/html/wp-content/plugins/constant-contact-forms/includes/widgets/contact- form-select.php on line 121 * Any suggestions? * Thank you for your time.

That line is at a point where we use an anonymous function, which is going to be PHP version 5.3 and up. Other parts of the plugin are going to require PHP5.4, which is the minimum version we require. * That said, if you’re able to get that far, I need to check on how it’s loading things, because we try to prevent loading anything if version 5.4 isn’t met. * Thread Starter [nicko62](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicko62/) * (@nicko62) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashes-site-parse-error/#post-8517409) * I’ve removed the previous Constant Contact widget plugin (the one that expires tomorrow). I’m using an old, customized theme. Any help appreciated! * Thread Starter [nicko62](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicko62/) * (@nicko62) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashes-site-parse-error/#post-8517439) * Apparently I was running PHP 5.2 I’ve just updated it via GoDaddy to 5.4 and will try to activate the plugin again. Thank you! * Thread Starter [nicko62](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicko62/) * (@nicko62) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashes-site-parse-error/#post-8517453) * Yikes… Below is what I got this time. I’ll have to work on this more tonight. Going through ftp to delete the plugin now. * Warning: include_once(/home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-content/plugins/constant- contact-forms/constant-contact-forms.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Stale file handle in /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php on line 273 * Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/content/48/ 3774848/html/wp-content/plugins/constant-contact-forms/constant-contact-forms. php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/ 48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php on line 273 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-login.php on line 402 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-login.php on line 415 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 914 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 915 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 916 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 917 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 918 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 919 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 922 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 923 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 924 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 925 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 928 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 929 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 930 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 931 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/48/3774848/html/wp-settings.php:273) in /home/content/48/3774848/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1174 * Plugin Contributor [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashes-site-parse-error/#post-8517707) * Not quite sure what’s going on with that one, first time I can recall seeing this for a PHP error: “failed to open stream: Stale file handle”. Hopefully a fresh install of the plugin helps, but I can’t say I can make any guarantees. May be a situation needing GoDaddy Support to resolve. * Thread Starter [nicko62](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicko62/) * (@nicko62) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashes-site-parse-error/#post-8521408) * It worked!
