    This is likely unique to a particular PHP version(s), but it also has a quick & straightforward fix to avoid this issue for everyone.

    
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /wp-content/plugins/block-options/includes/notices/class-editorskit-deprecated-typography-addon-notice.php on line 50
    

    This seems to have been introduced in the latest plugin update.

    It appears block-options/includes/notices/class-editorskit-deprecated-typography-addon-notice.php has:

    
    public function register()
    {
    	register_setting(
    		'editorskit',
    		static::$key,
    		array(
    			'type'              => 'string',
    			'description'       => 'Editorskit notice status for deprecated typography addon.',
    			'sanitize_callback' => 'sanitize_text_field',
    			'show_in_rest'      => true,
    			'default'           => 'initial', // Can either be 'hidden', or 'initial'.
    		),
    	);
    }
    

    which needs to be changed to:

    
    public function register()
    {
    	register_setting(
    		'editorskit',
    		static::$key,
    		array(
    			'type'              => 'string',
    			'description'       => 'Editorskit notice status for deprecated typography addon.',
    			'sanitize_callback' => 'sanitize_text_field',
    			'show_in_rest'      => true,
    			'default'           => 'initial', // Can either be 'hidden', or 'initial'.
    		)
    	);
    }
    

    Notice how the , after the array in register_setting is removed.

    Certain PHP versions don’t like it when a comma is provided when calling a function when there isn’t another attribute/parameter to follow it. Meanwhile, it’s not actually serving a purpose.

    Things look to be working properly after removing that unnecessary & potentially problematic comma in this one file.

    I’d love to see this patched in a quick bugfix release as it’s bringing whole sites down for those running a PHP version sensitive to this where sites may have it set to auto-update (resolving the issue likely then needing to be done manually due to the site-wide fatal server error this is causing.)
