Error code for both my website and admin login

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi! I cannot get to my wordpress admin or see my website. Both give this error code-

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘, expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/96/7832196/html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/widgets/simple-payments.php on line 220

    Any ideas how to fix this? I can’t even find any way into the back part of my website…

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Ok but that is not the actual site I’m having trouble with. The one I’m having trouble with is ryan-schmidt.com

    Hi there,

    The error is caused by using an outdated version of PHP.

    Please contact your hosting company (Godaddy) and ask them to update the site to at least PHP 5.6 (ideally 7 or greater).

    Since the site is using the self-hosted version of WordPress(.org), we are unable to provide support for it here in the WordPress.com forums.

    If you’d like to know more about the differences between WordPress.com (the hosted service) and WordPress.org (the self-hosted software), please see this guide.

    Good luck!

    Thank you so much!! I connected with GoDaddy and I’m getting myself all updated! The site is already back up. Thanks again. :D :D
