Error on upgrade from 1.2.16

That is odd. What version of php are you using?

The only change to that particular file was intended simply to make some error messages more useful. If you still have the old version, you could try replacing the classes/ewz-base.php with its previous version.

Hi Josie, I have the same kind of problem, but I updated to 4.3 just a bit earlier

https://www.ncps.org.uk

the message says:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /var/sites/n/ncps.org.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/entrywizard/classes/ewz-base.php on line 115

The wordpress version should not make any difference.
Syntax errors usually mean that you are using an older version of php than any I tested on.

The software I used suggested that php 5.3.0 should be ok, but it may not be totally reliable. 5.4.41 does work. Most hosting companies let you change the php version you are using.

But if this turns out to be a common problem, I’ll take out the offending code.

I just found a reference suggesting that php 5.4 is required for the construct I used in the offending code.

But the php site says that 5.3 is a year past its end-of-life, so I think you ought to be able to upgrade to 5.4.

Hi Josie, php 5.4 appears to work! my web host control panel allowed me to choose from quite a range of versions which was handy. I can now log back into my site without getting that error message.
Great advice, thanks

I had the same error. Went to the cpanel for my webhost and changed from PHP 5.2 to 5.4 and now it works. Keep in mind the PHP change may take 15 minutes, so wait a while before you try to activate EntryWizard again.
