Title: Fatal error Last modified: September 5, 2020 --- # Fatal error * Resolved [chrism018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrism018/) * (@chrism018) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3615/) * This plugin was working fine until I updated to WP 5.5. Now I get the following message: * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘->’ (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR) in /home/weddingsteps/ public_html/wp-content/plugins/modern-events-calendar-lite/app/libraries/render. php on line 1063. I tried deleting the folder from my plugins folder and reinstalling it, but I just get the same message. Now my calendar has disappeared as the plugin won’t run. When I view the line 1063, I don’t see anything that looks wrong. * Please Help!! * The calendar should appear on the page: * [https://www.weddingsteps.com/bridal-shows/](https://www.weddingsteps.com/bridal-shows/) * Thank you, Christian * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffatal-error-3615%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [chrism018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrism018/) * (@chrism018) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3615/#post-13366340) * php 5.6 (waiting for IT person to upgrade to 7.3).

If I loaded the render.php file that originally had the parse problem line of code at 1063 written as it originally was – $event_period_days = ($this- >main->date_diff($start_date[‘date’], $end_date[‘date’]))->days; – then trying to update again to 5.11.5 failed for the same line of code. * Thread Starter [chrism018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrism018/) * (@chrism018) * [5 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3615/#post-13387574) * I just downloaded mec lite (not into wordpress), and looked at the render.php code and sure enough line 1063 is still unchanged from 5.10.5 – $event_period_days = ($this->main->date_diff($start_date[‘date’], $end_date[‘date’]))->days; – notice the parenthesis before ($this …. and double parenthesis after [‘date’])). For this plugin to work for our site this line of code needed to be rewritten with single parenthesis like this: * $event_period_days = $this->main->date_diff($start_date[‘date’], $end_date[‘date’])- >days; * Christian * Plugin Contributor [webnus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnus/) * (@webnus) * [5 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3615/#post-13404759) * Hi [@chrism018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrism018/), * Thanks for reaching out, * I have forwarded it to the developer team to be checked. * Best Regards * [Quebro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quebro/) * (@quebro) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3615/#post-13647321) * Unfortunately I am experiencing the same problem with your plugin, and I don’t know what to do 🙁 I urgently need this plugin, both free and pro version.
