Update to 5.9.9 creates fatal error

Hi @helmutvogt62,

I am so sorry to hear that – can you check your PHP Error Logs?

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’, expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /home/www/***/wp-content/plugins/media-file-renamer/classes/rest.php on line 552

I’m only a “user”, not a “programmer”

@tigroumeow Where can I find them? Can you do something with the answer from ‘awunder’

@awunder What should I do? Or is this supposed to be a hint for ‘tigroumeow’?

This issue is likely happening because you are using an older version of PHP. Please note that version 7 has reached the end of its life almost 2 years ago. Please consider upgrading to a supported version. You can?learn more here.?Hope this helps!?

We will make the necessary adjustments to ensure that it works on older versions as well. Thanks for your patience and understanding. ??

function get_media_status(
? ? ? ? $skip = 0,
? ? ? ? $limit = 10,
? ? ? ? $filterBy = ‘pending’,
? ? ? ? $orderBy = ‘post_title’,
? ? ? ? $order = ‘asc’,
? ? ? ? $search = null,
? ? ? ? $hide_locked = true, <= the “,” must be removed
? ? ? ? ) {….

Here we get this error:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/media-file-renamer/classes/rest.php on line 552

That’s it @pixelsing
Solved here!

But now plugin developers need to fix this bug as well, please @tigroumeow !

Thanx!

Problem solved after switching to php 8.2, could also be activated, thanks for the hint.
Previously, however, php 7.4 was active, which would have been permitted as the minimum version on the details page

Indeed, if it states that it supports PHP 7.4 or higher, then it should actually support it. Currently, it doesn’t any longer, since 5.9.9.

We released a new 6.0.0 version, which fixes this too ?? Cheers!
