 * After the update I get the following error.
 * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ',' or ';' in ... /plugins/
   wp-email-template/admin/admin-ui.php on line 37`
 * Seems like the constant is not set at that place…?
 * What can i do, to fix this?

 * Sorry just saw this ticket – You are seeing that issue because your host server
   is running an outdated and unsupported PHP Version? Probably version 5.5+ but
   it could be older – this is very bad.
 * PHP stopped support for 5.5 in July 2016 and they (PHP) strongly recommend that
   it is not used due to security vulnerabilities – see here
 * [http://php.net/eol.php](http://php.net/eol.php)
 * WordPress Requirements state that to run WordPress system config should be
    PHP
   version 7.2 or greater MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or
   greater HTTPS support
 * You can read more about that here [https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)
 * On that WordPress link there is a sample email that you can use to send to your
   host to upgrade your system. As soon as you upgrade to PHP 5.6 or higher you 
   will not have the issue and your server will be much more secure.
 * Regards
    Steve
