My site is down too.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’, expecting ‘;’ or ‘{‘ in /home/…/wp-content/plugins/sunny/src/Sunny.php on line 99
I’m having the exact same error. Caused my site to go down, had to get help to disable the plug-in and rename the folder. Tried reinstalling, same issue. Plug-in worked great until this recent update.
Here’s my error, meant to add this earlier, it is on line 92 actually:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /…./wp-content/plugins/sunny/src/Sunny.php on line 92

Hi
For anyone who doesn’t know, this can be easily fixed by either deactivating Sunny (delete plugins/sunny folder if necessary), or upgrading to PHP 7.
FWIW, I move all the sites I can to PHP 7, but there are some very important production sites that are stuck on lower versions due to old unsupported themes and little budget to upgrade.
Last I checked, WordPress promises to be backwards compatible down to PHP 5.2 or 5.3. Hopefully the Sunny plugin author will reconsider using PHP 7 functionality, as annoying as it might be to miss out on the new stuff!
Best wishes

Mi site is down. I had to uninstall the plug-in via ftp.
Mine too. Thanks for CPK Web Solutions for telling the solution. I’ll try to change it to 7.
@cpkwebsolutions is correct.
Sunny 2.0.0 requires php 7 or later and WordPress 4.7 or later. Please upgrade your servers.
About backward compatibilities, I have no plan to support php 5 because php 7 makes developing easier.
The next version will deactivate itself if minimum requirements(php and WordPress version) don’t meet. Until then, ftp to your php 5 server and remove Sunny manually.
Hi Tang Rufus
Understand your position. Ok if I fork the project to provide backwards compatibility?
Best wishes
Paul
Starting form Sunny 2.0.1, Sunny checks for php version and deactivate itself if needed.
