    After updating from 3.19.0 to 3.20.0 I received this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘, expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/38/4256738/html/nelsasgardenhut/wp-content/plugins/ml-slider/admin/support/Analytics.php on line 219

  • Hi,

    On that line I can see I used the array shorthand [] instead of array(). I can update that but at the same time, that implies you’re using a fairly old version of PHP on your server, since [] is available in PHP 5.4, so 5+ years old. Can you easily update your PHP version? Version 8 is our not, but you should probably update to version 7.4 or 7.3.

    Thanks for your reply. PHP version is old (5.3) and I cannot update at this time; WordPress version 5.1.8.

    This should be good in 3.20.1 now! Thank you for reporting it
