Fatal error on update to WordPress 4.6

  • Had the same issue.

    There were two instances of this arrangement:

    $dir = wp_upload_dir()['basedir'] . '/utubevideo-cache/';

    which needed to become:

    $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$dir = $upload_dir['basedir'] . '/utubevideo-cache/';

    for it to parse correctly.

    The newest version of this plugin has been updated to require PHP 5.5 or higher in order to work correctly. Updating your version of PHP should fix your issue.

    Don’t you think that:
    a) your plugin should align with the same PHP requirements as wordpress.
    b) your plugin version should be bumped a major version when you make a change like this
    c) your release notes should clearly state the change in requirements?

    You just broke my site!
    Uninstalling…

    Hi edwtests,

    1) I am choosing to not support older versions of PHP specifically due to security issues. Per WordPress they actually recommend PHP 5.6, however I am not requiring that currently. see (https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/)

    2) I fail to see a reason to update a major version for something not feature specific.

    3) I apologize for the release note issue. I was not aware of the lack of support until after the plugin was published.
