[Plugin: WP-reCAPTCHA] recaptcha cannot activate on WP

  • Hi folks,

    I try to activate the plugin (3.1.3) and get this error:

    ===================
    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/……/wp-content/plugins/wp-recaptcha/recaptcha.php on line 8
    ==================

    Any help pls???! I’m using WordPress 3.1.2

  • I had this same problem. You need PHP5.

    Hi!

    I have PHP version 5.2.17.

    Hmmm… interesting. The only other thing I did was to move the wp-recaptcha directory out of the plugins directory to let WP think it was deleted and disable it. Once the upgrade was done I put the wp-recaptcha directory back and enabled it from the Dashboard and it worked.

    Sorry, but can you explain that a little further please rageratwork?

    thanks

    When I upgraded the recaptcha plugin to 3.1.3 it fubared my WP giving me the error discussed in the first post of this thread. I could not even get to the Dashboard anymore to disable it. Instead of deleting the wp-recaptcha directory, I moved it out of the plugins directory: mv wp-recaptcha .. Once it was no longer in the plugins directory I could get to the WP Dashboard. WP noticed it was no longer in the plugins directory and disabled it. Once I completed my upgrade to PHP5, I moved the wp-recaptcha directory back to the plugins directory. mv ../wp-recaptcha . Once it was moved back, it was listed again in the WP Dashboard as disabled. I enabled it and it worked fine.
