Plugin messes up my theme

    Hello,

    I’ve been working with my theme developer for the past few days after updating your theme on my website. My theme was fine until I updated your plugin and got this message:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/content/27/6777627/html/theeverythinghub/wp-content/plugins/kirki/core/class-kirki-modules.php on line 88

    Tried updating it a few times and each time it breaks my website. It’s really important that I get this fixed as soon as possible since the theme requires this plugin to work properly. If not, there are certain features that become unavailable which makes things extremely frustrating. He’s on vacation and recommended that I submit s support ticket since he wouldn’t see the response in time. Can someone assist me with this please?? Sooner than later would be amazing!

    Thank you.

    Hey there!

    The T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM error is an indication that your server is running a pretty old version of PHP.
    Perhaps you are using PHP 5.2?
    If this is the case, you should update your server to PHP 5.3 minimum.
    WordPress recommends PHP 7, but if you can’t use that and you’re limited by your host to PHP 5.x versions, then PHP 5.6 is recommended.
    Usually you can switch PHP version from your cPanel (or any alternative management environment provided by host).
    If you don’t have access to something like that, then you could contact your host and they can switch the PHP version for you.

    UPDATE: Version 3.0.5 which will be released in a few minutes includes a fix that adds compatibility with PHP 5.2, so as soon as you update it you should be fine.
    If for some reason the error prevents you from logging-in on your website you can access your server via FTP to update the plugin manually, or simple delete the plugin from wp-content/plugins, and then install the new version from your dashboard.

    Are you sure it’s the same issue?
    I do all my tests in PHP7, and never saw the message in the original post.

    The message described in the original message was Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM which can only happen in PHP 5.2, anything above 5.3 has no issues whatsoever.
    3.0.6 fixes a typo, perhaps that’s what you’re seeing.
    SVN in ww.wp.xz.cn is simply a bit slow so even though I fixed the issue seconds after 3.0.5 was uploaded, it takes a while to upload a new version.
    Try in a few minutes
