Fatal error when activating plugin

What is your php version?

That line had a short syntax array private $excludedSelectors = []; which doesn’t work in PHP 5.3 (>=5.4 it is supported).

Thanks, I’m running PHP Version 5.3.29 – I’ll update.

OK – I’ve updated to PHP Version 5.5.32, but still have a problem.

Activating the plugin fails with:

Fatal error: Class ‘newsmanOptions’ not found in /home/cypruspr/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/wpnewsman-pro/core-pro.php on line 76

Rgds, Nigel

Deactivate the WPNewsman Pro first. Then activate WPNewsman Lite and then Pro

Thanks all is now OK.

This plugin won’t work anymore on PHP 5.3?

I have a server running this PHP version for many of my clients, several of which are using WPNewsman Lite and Pro and I would like to know if this is not going to work anymore with PHP 5.3.

In my opinion it shouldn’t be a problem making the plugin backwards compatible with older PHP versions (at least 5.3) I don’t see the point of losing potential clients by making it more restrictive.

The PHP version 5.3 has reached its End of Life (EOL). Using this old version may expose you to security vulnerabilities and bugs that have been fixed in more recent versions of PHP.

So, better if you upgrade to the latest PHP 5.5 or PHP 5.6 which brings huge benefits in terms of performance, memory usage, security and overall stability.

WPNewsman uses some 3rd party libraries that do not work on PHP v5.3 anymore. Thus, WPNewsman itself does not work on PHP v5.3.

Hi !

My website runs on Php 5.3. (https://www.jaime-jardiner.com)

I would have liked to be informed before the change, so do the legwork before “suffering” of the bug and have to disable the extension : An information with a time limit for exemple.

Communicating is important!

Bye !
