self::class syntax error

    We updated WordPress to 4.8.2 and the site died with this error:

    PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘class’ (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or ‘{‘ or ‘$’ in /home/user/public_html/user/wp-content/plugins/sermon-manager-for-wordpress/includes/class-sm-dates-wp.php on line 42

    If I comment out the following line then the site is fine:

    add_filter( 'get_the_date', array( self::class, 'get_the_date' ), 10, 3 );

    Updated to the most recent sermon manager plugin and problem remains.

    Any ideas?

    Actually it appears that it was updating the sermon-manager plugin that killed it, not the wordpress update.

    Looks like there may be a bug in the sermon-manager code in class-sm-dates-wp.php?

    Hey @sgadsby,

    Can you please update to the latest Sermon Manager release (2.6.1), the bug should be fixed. ??

    If you can’t access admin area of your website, please do the following:
    1. Connect to your website via FTP or cPanel file manager
    2. Navigate to (public_html/)wp-content/plugins/
    3. Delete directory sermon-manager-for-wordpress
    4. Site will work now, please install latest version
    Note: No sermons will be lost by doing these steps

    Thank you for your patience and understanding. ??
