Parse error: syntax error, unexpected (acf.php on line 427)

    Hey guys, first off: I love this plugin. My site lives on it and I’m more thankful for this one than any other out there. So, naturally, I was really excited to see that an update for WP 5.0 was released just recently but, after updating, I’m not receiving this error (immediately after activating, it displays as an error message at the top of the Plugins page).

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/content/55/14001055/html/wp-content/plugins/custom-content-shortcode/includes/optional/acf.php on line 427

    Any ideas on how I could resolve this? Thanks in advance!

    Hello, thank you for reporting the issue, and sorry for the error.

    This happened because that line was using a feature (array literal) only available from PHP 5.4. I pushed a compatibility fix in plugin version 3.8.2 – could you see if that solves it?

    FYI, WordPress itself is planning to raise the minimum PHP version requirement going forward:

    PHP 5.6 will become the minimum supported version in the first half of 2019, and the minimum version will be bumped again to PHP 7 in the second half of the year.

    Confirmed fixed on PHP Version 5.3 with version 3.8.2 — Thanks!
