New Update breaks Websites

I have this also. Hoping for a fix

I had to delete this app from the hosting admin

I just had this exact same problem, I went to “file transfer” on the CPanel and search for the path of the facebook plugin and just delete it. Problem solved

Yep same for me – managed to recover the site using the WordPress recovery mode, and have deactivated Facebook for Woocommerce. Site is now back up, but that’s a pretty serious issue to have, not impressed.

the same

Trying to debug the actual cause – the code in question parses in PHP7.3 but fails in anything lower. 7.3 and above should be fine, but my host is running an older version, I suspect the same will be true of others here.

I’m just trying to pinpoint why PHP5.6 doesn’t like the syntax.

Update PHP Version to 7.4. Its working for me

@kamleshmpatel Not an options for a lot of people – they will be at the whim of their web host.

It will work with 7.3. I have a 5.6 parser that it breaks in. My host’s max at the moment is 7.2, and it appears to break on that as well.
