 * Hi there,
 * This has happened a few times: when I update the uncanny learndash plugin my 
   entire site crashes and I get the error message:
 * Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home2/tanjasha/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/uncanny-learndash-toolkit/uncanny-learndash-toolkit.
   php on line 29
 * I’ve had my developer get things back up and running a few times, but the problem
   keeps repeating.
 * what steps do I need to take?

 * You’re using an unsupported and very old PHP version. However your developer 
   is fixing it probably isn’t a good idea; get your PHP version updated. 7.2 is
   recommended.
