The previous version did not give out Internal Server Error but once updated to version 1.3, it just gives out the Internal Server Error and nothing will do except to delete the plugin and/or put back the version 1.2 of the plugin.

Hi Stevie, sorry for the late reply. I’ve just checked the code and I can’t see an error in that line, however I have a vague memory of fixing an error like it after I’d saved and tested the file. I can’t see my commit logs but possibly the error was committed but then fixed within minutes. I guess you were pretty quick to upgrade!

If possible do you want to try it again and let me know if it’s okay for you now? The new plugin version isn’t a security update as such although it does stop people viewing the file directly, but it’s been upgraded for multisite use and more efficient admin use especially if you potentially have people who can upgrade plugins but not the core files.

I’ll follow this topic so will get a notification if/when you can check on it. I have it running on a few client sites and have no issue on those but it’s always good to check more!

Thanks 🙂

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for the reply.
I could not do the update until the weekend night as the client will be mad if they find out during the day time.

Anyways, I’ve done the update to 1.3 and still have the 500 error going on.

Here’s the error after the update. Still the same thing.

“PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /var/www/html/news/wp-content/plugins/hide-update-reminder/hide-update-reminder.php on line 23”

Also, the system does not allow the “Options” usage in the htaccess. Which may be causing the error.

Another thought maybe due to the hosting using old outdated php and mysql as you’ve mentioned in your 1.3 readme file as “Modernised the PHP code in use”.

Hi Stevie,

The error is being caused because the site is using an old version of PHP and I updated the markup to bring it more up to date and how I tend to code. I’ve created a backwards compatibility version on GitHub but I’m having trouble getting it updated on the repository. If you want to download and try out v1.3.1 from https://github.com/SarahA21/WP-HideUpdateReminder/releases it would be great to know it’s definitely okay too as I have no access to a server with PHP 5.3 or less on. Although I’m pretty confident it should be fine now.

Thanks

Just a further update to this. I’ve finally managed to get the plugin to update in the WordPress repository, so you should be able to just update as normal.
