    Hi guys, I have just upgraded to last version of “Above the fold optimization” and the wordpress dashboard has broken. When I try to login I see the error:

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/lopezmar/public_html/wp-content/plugins/above-the-fold-optimization/admin/admin.pwa.class.php on line 63”

    Could you help me please ?
    Thanks

  • What is your PHP version?

    It may caused by the array syntax “icons” => [],
    PHP version prior to 5.4 don’t support this syntax.

    Try to upgrade your PHP and see how it goes.

    Hi psabbatella,

    Our apologies. We intend to support PHP 5.3. Besides this relative small issue the plugin is compatible with older PHP versions.

    The issue occurred when you tried to create the manifest.json file in the admin panel.

    The issue has been resolved in v2.8.13.

    The issue is unrelated to access of WordPress.

    Are you currently unable to login? If so, the ABTF plugin is not likely to be a possible cause since you were already able to access the PWA tab.

    When I enter https://www.lopezmarisol.com/wp-admin/
    I get the error

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/lopezmar/public_html/wp-content/plugins/above-the-fold-optimization/admin/admin.pwa.class.php on line 63

    Could I update that file via FTP with the new release ?

    Hi psabbatella,

    It would be best to do the following:

    1) login via FTP
    2) rename the directory /plugins/above-the-fold-optimization/ to /plugins/above-the-fold-optimization-disabled/
    3) login to WordPress
    4) rename the plugin back to /plugins/above-the-fold-optimization/

    The plugin will then be specifically disabled and it would be possible to upgrade the plugin with the fix for PHP 5.3.
