    Are you deploying into a WP Engine 5.5 instance? The first few errors reference lines where a PHP trait is defined or used.

    That’s an interesting question. From the actual deployed WP install:

    WordPress Version 4.1.1
    PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.29

    However, when using git push, it goes through an intermediate syntax check step, and that step may be using 5.5.

    The Twitter plugin for WordPress requires PHP 5.4 or greater. A trait is a feature added in PHP 5.4. WP Engine is protecting you from yourself by pointing out the existence of a trait in the code you are trying to push, which will not work in PHP 5.3.2.

    You should be able to request WP Engine update your site to its PHP 5.5 environment. The WP Engine blog post announcing PHP 5.5 support mentions you can open a ticket to request a migration to the new environment.

    Hey everyone!

    Eric from WP Engine here. Just wanted to confirm Niall statement that this looks like a PHP 5.3.2 incompatibility. If you would like to be moved to a PHP 5.5 server, just put in a request to support and we’ll move you over. ??

    Thanks!
    Eric

    Aha! Thanks to both of you. (I feel like an idiot now. Thought I was on 5.4 because, doh, my other server is.)
