Hi @ande1352,

We apologize for this inconvenience!

If you could reach out to us directly at [email protected] with as much detail as possible about your breakage that would be incredibly helpful. Are you currently using any other custom settings on your site?

The exact message is this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')' in /path_to_server/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-23-related-posts-plugin/config.php on line 130

We’ve found the problem.

Our latest plugin update, 3.6.4, will not work properly with sites on PHP 5.3.* or older. It requires PHP 5.4 or higher to function properly. 99.9% of our users meet this PHP requirement, but a few users are on PHP 5.3.* or older and are encountering problems.

If your site runs on the older PHP 5.3.* you can still use our previous plugin version, v3.6.3, without problem. It can be downloaded directly from WordPress at: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-23-related-posts-plugin/advanced/

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused some of you, and want to thank you all for helping us in discovering and diagnosing the problem.

Today we will update our readme to list PHP 5.4 or newer as a requirement for our future plugin updates. Additionally, we will build in functionality for the plugin that checks PHP version on activation and only allows activation to complete if the minimum PHP version is running on the site (if an older PHP version is detected, it will display a message directing users to our plugin version 3.6.3).

Thank you for your understanding and help.

As I told you I have php v7 installed in the server. v 7.0.1.6 to be exact

Hi @fernandot,

If you could reach out to us directly at [email protected] with as much information as possible we would love to help you troubleshoot the issue further. Screenshots are extremely useful in helping us to understand the root of the problem. Your error looks to be the only one that we have received outside of the outdated PHP compatibility problems so we would love to take a deeper look.

We appreciate your patience and apologize again for the inconvenience.

Best,
Sovrn Support
