Update Broken

Our site is down too after the update.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/kortools/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-product-sort-and-display/admin/admin-ui.php on line 37

Hello @andalusianworld and @touscany

Have checked and see the error that you are having is an incompatibility with PHP version 5.5.

PHP stopped support for 5.5 in July 2016 and strongly recommend that it is not used due to security vulnerabilities – see here
https://php.net/eol.php

WordPress Requirements state that to run WordPress system config should be
PHP version 7.2 or greater
MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or greater
HTTPS support

You can read more about that here https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/

There is a sample letter that you can use on that page to send to your host to upgrade your system. As soon as you upgrade to PHP 5.6 or higher you will not have the issue.

Steve

I’m running PHP version: 5.6.30 Still broken.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/kortools/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-product-sort-and-display/admin/admin-ui.php on line 37

Seeing the following error as well:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-product-sort-and-display/admin/admin-ui.php on line 37

I see your comment above about php versions, I’ll look into this, in the mean time, I wanted to point out that WordPress, has a recommendation of php 7.2 or greater, but has a note that WordPress also works on PHP 5.2.4+.

WordPress Requirements

Similarly, the requirements listed for this plugin say PHP 5.5 or greater.

Plugin Requirements

All’s well now. I was running an old version of PHP.
