Hi,
Thanks for letting me know about this. I’m testing the plugin with this configuration and get back with a reply
Basically your use of [] for arrays is breaking sites hosted with earlier versions of php 5 – please either check for php7 or lower the php compatibility level.
Web hosts (hostgator, cough) suck at upgrading their PHP and we really don’t have the ability to change this.
Yes, I agree that ALL WordPress plugins should remain backwards compatible with PHP5 until such time as PHP7 is a viable option (not enough support in PHP7 to force people to migrate to it yet). This is the same mistake that Drupal made with D7 and D8, and it’s imperative not to have WordPress plugin developers make the same mistake.
I have spent time making sure my WordPress plugins are all backwards compatible, so I don’t think its too much to ask. Usually, it’s just a matter of using the legacy array notation. 😉
Cheers,
Brandon
@andreiigna I forgot to include the specific error in my case is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/123123/public_html/wp-content/plugins/if-menu/if-menu.php on line 112
