Parsec error while installing

[Karol May]

Hey, installed trusted pro.1.1.1. zip into wp (newest version 4.9).

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /wp-content/themes/trusted- pro/functions/trusted-theme- mods.php on line 196

Getting this information… need to remove theme manually using ftp as i cant do nothing in wp. Tried in 4.8 previously, same message.

I unchecked any plugins or custom css. What is this problem about?

Sorry to see you are experiencing a problem with the theme.

We are not getting this error on any of our test sites or our demo.

So that I can investigate this further, could you let me know the version of PHP that your server is running?

If you have WooCommerce installed, go to ‘WooCommerce’ > ‘Status’ and under the ‘Server environment’ heading it will say PHP version:

If you are not using WooCommerce, could you install the Debug Info plugin, then look in ‘Dashboard’ > ‘Debug Info’ where it will show which version of PHP you have.

Not using woocommerce.

Free version of trusted theme was working good.

Here is info from debug info plugin:

WordPress Version: 4.9
Current WordPress Theme: Trusted version 1.1.10
Theme Author: UXL Themes – http://uxlthemes.com
Theme URI: http://uxlthemes.com/theme/trusted
Active Plugins: debug-info/debug-info.php |
PHP Version: 5.2.17
MySQL Version: 5.7.18-14-log

Thanks, I can see that you are running PHP version 5.2.17

That part of the theme requires at least version 5.6 of PHP.

I would very much recommend that you update (or ask your web host to update) your PHP version to 5.6 or later (preferably version 7) as you will most likely encounter more problems with other themes/plugins and possibly even the core WordPress installation.

See the WordPress requirements which states that the absolute minimum required is 5.2.4 and that even this version has reached end of life and may expose your site to security vulnerabilities. Link here: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

I can confirm, that with version 5.6.30 of php  the problem is gone.
