Parse error & Warning with Plugins

    I just installed 2 of your plugins – PayPal Events & PayPal Donations

    I have set these up before on another WP site with no issues, but just after installing them on another WP site, I am now getting errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    With “PayPal Events”, When I try to create a new Event, I’m getting this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/www/rplorg/wp-content/plugins/easy-paypal-events-tickets/includes/private_buttons_new.php on line 14

    And With “PayPal Donations”, after I put the short code in the page and try to update the page, I get these errors: 

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/rplorg/wp-content/plugins/easy-paypal-donation/includes/public_shortcode.php:412) in /home/www/rplorg/wp-admin/post.php on line 197

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/rplorg/wp-content/plugins/easy-paypal-donation/includes/public_shortcode.php:412) in /home/www/rplorg/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1179

    This page still updates, but it’s annoying. And I’ve never had any issues with these plugins before.

    thanks you for your help and let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi @coldtree,

    Most likely this is caused because this site is running an older version of PHP.

    You can install this plugin to see what version you are running: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-php-info/

    The plugin needs at least version 5.5+.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Thank you – I will contact our IT guys to see if it can be updated.

    Just to let you know, I had the same problem with PP Events this morning, found this topic and updated the PHP from 5.4 to 5.6+ and it fixed the problem. I also learned that it can take up to an hour for the update to go through. The PHP Info Plugin helped as while the host was showing 5.6, it had not really taken effect until about 40 minutes later. Thanks!
