 * I just updated the wp ecommerce plugin on one of my sites and this is what resulted.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/interl16/
   public_html/stockandstudio.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-components/
   merchant-core-v3/gateways/braintree-credit-cards.php on line 21
 * How do I go about fixing it. As is, the above message is what I get when I go
   to my site.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-update-catastrophe-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I lost a site on GoDaddy Managed WordPress (5.4.42) – I know it sucks.
 * But the problem appears to be that this syntax
    $this->helpers::is_gateway_setup(‘
   braintree-credit-cards’ )
 * isn’t legit in 5.4.42

 * The site automatically updates but I don’t know the specifics.

 * I restored to the previous version. And recommend that [@aradianaturals](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aradianaturals/)
   do the same for the time being.

 * If I deleted the plugin on my server and then reinstalled, would my shopping 
   cart and items be restored?

 * Hey guys.
    Sorry for the trouble. We pushed an update 3.13.1 which will fix the
   issue. What you can do is rename the plugin directory via FTP to something like
   wp-e-commerce123 Open the plugins page then you will see a notice that the plugin
   has been disabled. rename the plugin directory back to wp-e-commerce refresh 
   the plugins page and when you see the update to 3.13.1 do it then reactivate 
   the plugin.

    (That was easy)
