Chrystl on "[Plugin: Polylang] Update crashes complete multisite install"

Hi,

Last update crashes my WordPress sites (Multisite) with following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /EXAMPLE/wp-content/plugins/polylang/modules/wpml/wpml-config.php on line 78

76 foreach ( $this->xmls as $context => $xml ) {
77 foreach ( $xml->xpath( 'admin-texts/key' ) as $key ) {
78 $name = (string) $key->attributes()['name'];

I hat to deactivate the plugin.
I wonder what got wrong - any help welcome!

Cheers,
Johannes

Hi Could you please tell me what's your PHP version?

Hi, thank you for your fast answer :-)
PHP Version is 5.5.37

I would expect this syntax working on PHP 5.4 and higher (I tested with PHP 5.4). Nevertheless, please update to Polylang 2.0.1. It should fix this error.

Hello Chouby,

and thank you for the fix and for your fast answer... except it generates another crash:

Waing: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: /EXAMPLE/wp-content/plugins/content-aware-sidebars/wpml-config.xml:4: parser error : expected '>' in /EXAMPLE/wp-content/plugins/polylang/modules/wpml/wpml-config.php on line 64

Fatal error: Call to a member function xpath() on a non-object in /EXAMPLE/wp-content/plugins/polylang/modules/wpml/wpml-config.php on line 79

Would be grateful for any hint. Cheers,
Johannes

OK, I checked this support thread:
Another fatal error after update from 1.9.3 to 2.0.1

Deactivating "Content Aware Sidebars" solves the problem for me - is ok as I don't need it so much as I need polylang.

Keep up with the good work :-)

Hi
Chouby has just proposed a fix to the Content Aware Sidebars: https://github.com/intoxstudio/content-aware-sidebars/pull/6

A quick fix: go in your plugin folder, open the wpml-config.xml then at line 4 remove the 's' at the end of </custom-fields>:

<custom-field action="ignore">_cas_taxonomy</custom-fields>
