   Just downloaded v2.6 after hearing so many great things... I'm developing a site for someone. Have set up SQL tables etc, created the initial config file as per instructions. But when I go to run the setup script, I get:

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in ......../wp-admin/includes/update.php on line 152

   Can someone please advise what I should do? I have tried re-uploading the directory. Should I download an earlier version from somewhere, or is there a simple fix, or something I stupidly overlooked? (apologies if this is the case)

   Thanks in advance.

   David.

   Ok, well, I saw what I think is an error in the code there:

   if ( strpos($plugin, '/') && $this_plugin_dir != $plugins_dir )

   Should have been

   if ( strpos($plugin, '/') && ( $this_plugin_dir != $plugins_dir )

   Yes?

   But then I got an error about an unexpected T_VARIABLE on line 154.

   Long story short, I commented out lines 152 to 155, and now I see the welcome screen. So I'll see if I'm OK from here on in.

   Hope I didn't skip something ultra-important. Looks harmless enough from here!

   Interesting, not sure why that line would cause the error. Your fix actually introduces a syntax error as it introduces an ( which isn't closed.

   That file is concerned with updating plugins automatically. If you don't have any plugins or always manually update them, you should be fine.
