Parse Error: Unexpected T-String

    This issue has happened on all of the websites I have that use RPS Image Gallery (which I adore, btw). After updating WordPress to 4.5, I updated RPS Image Gallery only to have blank screen with:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/39/7942139/html/allstatewaterproofing.com/wp-content/plugins/rps-image-gallery/rps-image-gallery.php on line 1614

    I installed the Redux Framework plug-in, which kept me in my dashboard, but still gave me the same error at the top of the window.

    I have Weaver II Pro and have never had a problem with RPS Image Gallery in the past. Not sure what is going on but I hope this helps trying to resolve the issue. Theme and all other plug-ins are up to date on all sites.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the kind words about RPS Image Gallery. In looking at line 1614 of RPS Image Gallery 2.1.6 we can see where there is a reference to a PHP namespace. We refactored RPS Image Gallery in version 2.0 to use object oriented programming and namespaces to make feature additions easier. Namespaces were introduced in PHP 5.3.0, so if you are running that version or greater it shouldn’t be a problem.

    Could you check to see what version of PHP you are running?

    If that is not the issue then we’ll do some more digging. Thanks in advance!

    According to GoDaddy, my version of MySQL is 5.5

    As it turns out, MySQL is not a factor with this particular error you are seeing. We need to find out what version of PHP you are running instead. Is that something you can easily get from your host?

    Whoops! Sorry about that, I am using version 5 – the recent databases I have created all use version 5.5 so I guess I’ll need to upgrade my version of php in order to use RPS Image Gallery? Would it be possible for me to use an older version until that happens?

    No problem at all. Acronyms trip everybody up at some point.

    Yes, you would need at least PHP 5.3 to run RPS Image Gallery 2.0.0 or greater. However you can run RPS Image Gallery 1.2.29 without issue on PHP 5.0.

    We were just speaking today about setting up a feature within the plugin which would let site administrators know of a compatibility issue before updating, and have a rough outline of it slated for a future release.

    We do regret any trouble this has caused for you and hope you are able to get the PHP update done without much effort. Your host may be able to assist you with the PHP upgrade.

    Let us know if we can do anything else for you. Thanks!

    I have the same problem:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/ad000428/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rps-image-gallery/rps-image-gallery.php on line 1614

    I dont undestand:
    Should i replace the current version 2.1.6 by 1.2.29 ?
    How I should to replace the current version 2.1.6 by 1.2.29?

    Correct. As of version 2.0.0, the minimum required version of PHP is 5.3. So you have a couple of options.

    1. Ask your hosting provider to update your version of PHP to at least 5.3.0.
    2. Install the latest version just prior to 2.0.0 which is version 1.2.29.

    Since you likely have FTP access to your site, simply delete the rps-image-gallery directory from the plugins directory, then upload version 1.2.29 using your preferred method.

    Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
