Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error

[HBin123]

Hi,

We installed an update of the eMember Plugin. (using it with eStore and WP Affiliate)

We now have a problem getting it activated in WP.

The errors are as follows, in admin of WordPress:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/homeb/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_config.php on line 5

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/homeb/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_config.php on line 21

What can be the cause of this?

Best Regards

Monica

Looks like a PHP version related issue. I have sent you an email to get site access so I can investigate this.

I am having the same issue when I try to activate the eMember plugin. “wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_config.php on line 5”

Was there a fix found for this issue?

Thanks so much.

sorry, to be more clear, this is the error I get: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/hybrid12/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_config.php on line 5”

Is this a php related issue?

THanks,

Yep, this means this site has a very old version of PHP.

Same applies to me when i try to activate the affiliate plugin platform on WP multisite + php 5.2.5

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Warning: require_once(/home/www/amazing-canvas.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/affiliates_menu.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/amazing-canvas.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/wp_affiliate_platform1.php on line 580

Any thoughts…

Thank you.

Hello. I am having the same problem as described above with WP PDF Stamper. I get the following message:

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

There is no additional detail. I’m running WP version 3.8.1. I just purchased and installed WP eStore, Member, Affilliate and they all installed fine. The eStore is working like a charm.

I deactivated everything else except eStore and reloaded WP Stamper(after deleting) and still get the same message.

Would appreciate any assistance you can give.

Hi Rich, The most common cause for PDF stamper activation error is if you don’t have the ioncube decoder on your server.

Did you use the minimum requirements checker plugin to check your site for the stamper?
