[solved]Impossible to activate extension since update

Stéphane Gaudry

Hello,

I use the newsletter plugin for Wordpress, and it did perfectly the job untill last update. All my blog was unreacheable because the plugin had an error.

The message was:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in wp-content/plugins/newsletters-lite/wp-mailinglist-plugin.php on line 1862

I had to deactivate all plugins by phpMyAdmin to use again my blog, and reactivate one by one. It's still impossible to reactivate newsletter plugin (same error).

When I check the line 1862, I get this

$mg = new Mailgun\Mailgun($mailgun_apikey);

I guess the backslash is the problem, but when I edit code and replace

Mailgun\Mailgun

by

Mailgun

I have the same error line 6884...

Here are my blog settings :

• PHP Version 5.2.17


• WordPress Version 4.5


• Active Theme Twenty Sixteen 1.2


• Newsletters 4.6.1.2

Does anyone have an idea or a solution?

Thanks

The reason for the parse error is an outdated php version. The latest version of the Newsletter plugin require php v5.3+

Can you please ask your hosting provider to upgrade php for you?

Ok, thanks for this information.

It's impossible for now to update PHP version because some old parts of the website need to be refactored before.

I will not use the newsletter until that.

PS : I can only edit my answers, but if I want to edit the original topic to mark as [Solved], I have the following warning :

Permission Problem
You don't have permission to do that.

If an admin or moderator can modify the topic title, it could be nice :-)

You can downgrade to a prev version of the newsletter plugin if you want to use it. http://tribulant.com/downloads/

I'll mark this topic as solved.
