Fatal Error

  • I host sites on a few different platforms. I tried this on WP-Engine and I received a Fatal Error when trying to activate.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /nas/wp/www/cluster-10153/healthycooking/wp-content/plugins/facebook-events-importer/assets/includes/fb_import_action.php on line 58

    Line 58:

    $eventResponse = (new FacebookRequest($session, 'GET', '/'.$facebook_page.'/events?fields=place,cover,attending_count,description,end_time,id,name,owner,start_time,ticket_uri,is_date_only,timezone&limit=99'))->execute()->getResponse();

    I tried again on Bluehost and it seemed to work fine. I believe WP Engine uses a hybrid version of Apache and Nginx. Also the WP Engine site that this occurred on is a testing site so the urls appears as a subdomain to wpengine:

    https://sitename.wpengine.com/

    Anyway, not the end of the world since I don’t need to use it on WPENGINE, just thought I’d let you know.

    I couldn’t find any syntax errors in fb_import_action.php so if the problem isn’t due to one of the above reasons, the only other thing I can think of is that I’ve found wordpress engine disables a couple of core wordpress scripts like heartbeat, if this plugin is utilizing any of those.

  • I am getting this same error on Site5. I’d really like to use it for this site, too. Any hope of this being resolved?

    I’m a Site5 customer as well, and getting this error. Is there a way to resolve it?

    Hi All,

    Is this related to WP-Engine or Site5 hosting? Are you all using WP-Engine?

    It’s related to your PHP Version, you need PHP version +5.4 and error is gone. (if you have cPanel, you can set from there)

    Thanks baidoc!

    mh…any workaround for those who can’t change the php version?

    Thanks baidoc.

    I should have realized that since I’ve had the same issue before with WPENGINE

    peorthyr if you are on wpengine, you can actually contact support and they will upgrade you. Also, I’ve never used site5 before, but it looks like you can do it there too.

    If not using either of those, what host are you using? Most shared hosts have the option to change the php version in the cpanel/backend under “PHP Config” or through the file manager by making some changes to the php.ini and htaccess.

    I’m going to mark this as resolved and not that this is an issue with the PHP version being outdated. 5.4 or better is required for facebook app integrations.
