    Hi, I installed “string locator” but when activating I got the following message:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/content/71/12127071/html/wp-content/plugins/string-locator/string-locator.php on line 400
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    Best regards, Lars

    Hi,

    Could you share some details with me, do you happen to know what PHP version you are running ?

    Not quite sure why you are getting this notice then.

    Are you comfortable making edits to that file?

    If you are, replace the code on line 400, it currently looks like this:

    $data['path'] = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/plugins/' . explode( '/', substr( $option, 2 ) )[0];

    With the following:

    $slug_grab = explode( '/', substr( $option, 2 ) );
$data['path'] = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/plugins/' . $slug_grab[0];

    …many thanks for your help, but I do not know how to find line 400 ??
    I will just let it go. All the best, Lars.

    Hi,

    I hunted down some more PHP versions to do some more extensive testing, and you are correct that the version you are on would throw a notice here.

    I’m patching that up as we speak to account for this case as well ??
