    Hi, after I updated to the latest version, I received a parsing error.

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /home/content/73/6772573/html/wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/admin/class.license.php on line 134”

    WP: 4.6
    PHP: 5.2.17
    A host of other plugins.

    Can I revert back to the previous version? Any suggestions?

    Thank you for a great plugin.

    Very sorry to hear the update has caused your trouble! To fix follow these steps:

    • Login to your site with FTP.
    • Navigate to the ../wp-content/plugins/ folder.
    • Delete the connections folder.
    • Navigate to the WordPress Plugins admin page.
    • Click the Add New button.
    • Search for the Connections Business Directory plugin.
    • Click the Install Now button.
    • Click the Activate button/link.

    You data is safe and will not be lost.

    Again, apologies for the trouble!

    ps. If you have altered any of the core plugin files, you should make a backup of those files before doing this process so you can restore them.

    pss. This error was caused because the webhost is running a very old and unsupported version of PHP. A version I did not test against because it is no longer supported. When reinstalling, you will be installing a version with a tweak to make that line of code compatible with that old version of PHP so you will not see that error again. I very, very, highly recommend that you contact your webhost and ask them to upgrade your PHP. WordPress recommends at least version 5.6. because anything less may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.
