1.4 Throws Error, Disables Site (error at ihaf.php on line 102)

How to revert exactly? Because I could not even go to the wp-admin page.

I experienced the same issue and I had to delete the plugin through File Manager. To restore my website.

open the file in editor and comment out the whole if {}.

open the file in editor and comment out the whole if {}.
or
change the plugin folder name
and
wait until the issue is fixed with a new update…

thanks for help. it worked to comment out the if {} beginning line 102.

For someone who’s not too experienced in coding, what does ‘comment out’ mean?
Do I delete the whole line 102, or what should I do exactly?

Go to line 102 in ihaf.php

Change

if ( empty( get_option( $this->plugin->db_welcome_dismissed_key ) ) ) {
        	if ( ! ( $pagenow == 'options-general.php' && isset( $_GET['page'] ) && $_GET['page'] == 'insert-headers-and-footers' ) ) {
	            $setting_page = admin_url( 'options-general.php?page=' . $this->plugin->name );
	            // load the notices view
	            include_once( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . $this->plugin->name . '/views/dashboard-notices.php' );
        	}
        }

to

/*

        	if ( ! ( $pagenow == 'options-general.php' && isset( $_GET['page'] ) && $_GET['page'] == 'insert-headers-and-footers' ) ) {
	            $setting_page = admin_url( 'options-general.php?page=' . $this->plugin->name );

	            $setting_page = admin_url( 'options-general.php?page=' . $this->plugin->name );
	            // load the notices view
	            include_once( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . $this->plugin->name . '/views/dashboard-notices.php' );
        	}
        }

to

$welcome_key = get_option( $this->plugin->db_welcome_dismissed_key );
        if ( empty(  $welcome_key ) ) {
        	if ( ! ( $pagenow == 'options-general.php' && isset( $_GET['page'] ) && $_GET['page'] == 'insert-headers-and-footers' ) ) {
	            $setting_page = admin_url( 'options-general.php?page=' . $this->plugin->name );
	            // load the notices view
	            include_once( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . $this->plugin->name . '/views/dashboard-notices.php' );
        	}

Thank you very much. ??

numandroid (@numandroid) Solution fixed the issue for me.

THANKS

Thank you, solution also worked for me and I can now view my website too! However, I now have a completely different error message when trying to get to the wp-admin page as follows:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘$ihaf’ (T_VARIABLE), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) in /home4/tpmcminn/public_html/wp-content/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/ihaf.php on line 224

Any help appreciated.. a beginner so in basic terms please!

First of all, my sincerest apologies for the issue.

This bug was caused by an older PHP version and how it treats a certain function. We have fixed the issue in 1.4.1.

Please update the plugin to v1.4.1

Thanks
