Plugin Won't Activate After Update

    A few weeks ago I updated the WooCommerce Custom Tabs plugin (which has been working great) as well as the main WooCommerce plugin. I didn’t notice it at the time, but the extra tabs we had on our page stopped showing. Looking at the admin, I saw that the Custom Tabs plugin was somehow deactivated. So I tried reactivating it, but it won’t activate. Instead, I get this error:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in …. /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-custom-tabs/woocommerce-custom-tabs.php on line 211

    Do you know how this issue can be resolved? I’ve a lot of data in these tabs, so if deleting the plugin means deleting all this data, that would be a problem. I’m comfortable editing PHP files, if that’s part of the solution. Thanks!

    Which version do you use? Pro or Lite, and what is the version number?
    We should know this to analyse the problem.

    Thanks for the response, and sorry for the lack of detail in the original post. Lite. Version 1.0.16

    Hi Adamtba!

    In this line there is a so called PHP anonymous function.

    usort($product_tabpage_postslist, function($a, $b)
{
	return intval($a->priority) - intval($b->priority);
});

    Anonymous functions are available since PHP 5.3.

    Can you please check if your PHP version is at least 5.3?

    Thanks,
    Peter

    Ah, thank you! Yes, that was the issue — I switched from PHP 5.2 to 5.3 and was then able to activate the plugin. Thank you for your help!
