I’m impressed. I thought I was cool for using lynx! * I don’t know if we can support your browser — could very well be a JS problem. I can’t even believe the menu works, really. Amazing. * Can you check out our blog (on PHP5, etc.) in a browser that exhibits the problem, and let me know if it still occurs there? * [http://www.addthis.com/blog/](http://www.addthis.com/blog/) * Best, Matt * [_mjk_](https://wordpress.org/support/users/_mjk_/) * (@_mjk_) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-parse-error-syntax-error/page/2/#post-939549) * Mac OS 9?

The video tour post does not show up on the front page. Oh well, I guess it is a browser issue. * Thread Starter [ljmac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ljmac/) * (@ljmac) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-parse-error-syntax-error/page/2/#post-939552) * Oh yes – your plug-in does work perfectly in every other respect (all the other social networking plug-ins have serious display issues on my browsers). * I’ve found it’s good to test my sites on these old browsers actually – if it works on them, it’ll work on anything! * [lockwood77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lockwood77/) * (@lockwood77) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-parse-error-syntax-error/page/2/#post-939561) * I get the following issue: * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare addthis_plugin_options() (previously declared in/ home/ianl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/addthis/php4/addthis_social_widget.php: 173) in /home/ianl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/addthis/addthis_social_widget. php on line 261 * Running WP 2.7 and PHP5.

If you delete the php4 folder, it’ll be fine. But, better than that — I’ve just released a tiny improvement (1.5.2) that fixes the conflict between the php4 and the php5 versions. * Please let me know if that fixes things! * Best, Matt * [lockwood77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lockwood77/) * (@lockwood77) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-parse-error-syntax-error/page/2/#post-939567) * Excellent work dude, thanks! 🙂 * [lockwood77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lockwood77/) * (@lockwood77) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-parse-error-syntax-error/page/2/#post-939568) * P.S. WP plugin page still says v.1.5.0 – don’t know if it’s in your power to update that bit? * [_mjk_](https://wordpress.org/support/users/_mjk_/) * (@_mjk_) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-parse-error-syntax-error/page/2/#post-939570) * Heh, I couldn’t figure out why, since the stable tag is set right, but when I read your post I had a flash of insight.
