# [Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Parse Error/Syntax Error

 * **WordPress version:** 3.3.2
    **WordPress SEO version:** 1.1.8
 * **I did this:** I installed the update for WordPress SEO 1.1.8
 * **I expected the plugin to do this:** Update and work as usual
 * **Instead it did this: **Killed the website with the following error displaying:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /website/info/wp-content/plugins/
   wordpress-seo/frontend/class-frontend.php on line 510
 * I tried disabling all plugins and reactivating one by one but as soon as WordPress
   SEO is reactivated, I get the same error (even if the only plugin activated)
 * I have now gone back to 1.1.7 and everything looks fine.
 * Thanks!
