Here’s the error it gave: * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in blahblahwordpresssite/wp-content/plugins/secure-wordpress/ secure-wordpress.php on line 99 * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764882) * what do you have for an php-version? * [Wes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wes/) * (@wes) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764887) * My server’s running php version 5.2.14. * [marvs5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marvs5/) * (@marvs5) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764898) * I am having the same issue on a number of blog installs…running php v. 5.2.9 * [Charlie Davidson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/charliedavidson-1/) * (@charliedavidson-1) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764899) * Same issue for me – with same error string. ISP had to back-up my site from before the update. Would love to know when its stable so I can reinstall? * [marvs5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marvs5/) * (@marvs5) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764901) * Actually, for me, it didn’t crash my sites but it will not activate after install or other activation attempts. * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764905) * Please can you test the version in the trunk ([http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/secure-wordpress.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/secure-wordpress.zip)), i have change from public to var this variable and i hope this works in your php-configuration? Thanks for reply! * [Wes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wes/) * (@wes) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764906) * [@frank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frank/) — That version appears to be working fine for me! * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764909) * [@wes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wes/): thanks! i will upload the update and hope this works also on the other php-version. The new feature from the plugin is nice; remove now also the WP version on scripts- and styles-urls. * [diggtwitter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diggtwitter/) * (@diggtwitter) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764910) * If needs test the new version, backup your data first. * [Wes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wes/) * (@wes) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764911) * [@frank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frank/) — No problem! Thank you for working up a fix so quickly. 🙂 * @digtwitter — Good advice, though I don’t think the plugin permanently alters anything. When I initially had problems with it, I just deactivated it and everything was fine. * [casualsurfer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualsurfer/) * (@casualsurfer) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764921) * Ok, so now I’m completely screwed. I’m getting the same message and I have no idea how to recover! * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in blahblahwordpresssite/wp-content/plugins/secure-wordpress/ secure-wordpress.php on line 99 * OMFG this is causing me all kinds of stomach ulcers, help please!! * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764922) * please use 1.0.6 and check, if you have PHP5. * [casualsurfer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualsurfer/) * (@casualsurfer) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764924) * I just asked my ISP to switch to PHP5 (it was indeed on PHP4.x, looks like it defaulted to that when I first set it up a few years ago), but it’ll take up to 24 hours before it’s effective. Not sure what to do before then. I hope it’ll automagically fix it, but if not…can anyone create a step-by-step process where I can go through to fix this issue via FTP (by editing some files)? * Thanks. * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-secure-wordpress/#post-1764925) * you can deactivate the plugin; easy via FTP when you rename or delete the folder of the plugin or the plguin-core-file in the folder secure-wordpress.
