    Hi – thank you for this great plugin! When I tried to update to the latest version – my website got the white page of death. The cause is this plugin, once I deactivated it, the site was back up. But now I can’t re-activate it because of this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in wp-content/plugins/globe-gateway-e4/Globe Gateway e4.php on line 16

    Can you help? Thank you!

    What version of WordPress are you currently running on?

    4.2.3

    Can you please completely remove the plug-in and reinstall it?

    Line 16 just adds lifeline to the token.

    Thank you so much for your help! Yes, I tried that already. I got the same error on the clean instal. Right now, we aren’t using this plugin as we have another payment option in place – so it’s not urgent to fix it. But please let me know if you ever figure out what caused it. Thank you!

    Wakingmedia,

    What other plug-in’s do you have installed. I cant seem to duplicate that error message.

    I’ve tried this same plug-in from wp4.0 -wp4.2.3 each time its a smooth install.

    I just upgraded to WordPress 4.2.4 and got the same error on https://chandlermethodist.org/

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/content/88/8873488/html/wp-content/plugins/globe-gateway-e4/Globe Gateway e4.php on line 16

    and I am not sure how to proceed because I have only installed/uninstalled WP plugins through the GUI. I host through GoDaddy and don’t have command line access (at least not as far as I know), but do have FTP/Godaddy File Manager access.

    Any assistance/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately I am unable to replicate the phase arrow that you guys are receiving.

    What I would recommend for fix for the time being would be to install the plug-in.

    Once the plug-in isn’t installed. Select edit > and remove this line.
    add_filter( ‘nonce_life’, function () { return 4 * 7200; } );

    This is the code indicated on line 16. All it does is add a time limit for the token to expire.

    Please let me know if this helps.

    For everyone receiving the Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION you will need to contact your hosting provider or look it up. But you will need to upgrade your PHP version. This plugin requires 5.4.42 and higher. I personally would recommend PHP version 7 to future proof your site.

    The work around would be to remove the line.
