5.3 throws an error

The answer above helped me – “Log into the file manager on your server or in other words CPanel. Then go to File Manager. Look in the folders and find the one Public-HTML with wp-content folder in it. In WP-Content folder go to plugins — >ocean-extra and rename the ocean-extra.php file to something different. You’ll be able to get in to your website now (wp-admin) and install the updated version of the plugin. The current version does not have the error.”

Thank you @veso_peso !!!! Works like a charm.

Please note, if you have the above errors its probably due to an outdated PHP version <=5.6.
We upgraded our servers to use PHP v7.1 and it works perfectly fine.

Hi, I have several WP sites running OceanWP w/the plugin. All are running fine.
However, one of the newer sites was displaying the following in lieu of the entire site:

“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘&’ or variable (T_VARIABLE), public_html/wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/wizard/classes/QuietSkin.php on line 94”

I disabled the Ocean Extra Plugin and the site loads, but the design is dependent on the plugin to function 100%.

Line 94 was modified to the following but did not fix the issue.

public function feedback($string, …$args) { /* no output */

Any ideas?

WP: 5.4
OceanWP: 1.8.2
Ocean Extra: 1.6.2
PHP: 7.1

I was getting the same error and it shattered my heart thinking it will take hours for me to fix.

Thanks @veso_peso for the patch and @ambri for sharing it. Saved my day!
