Update to 4.38 causing error 500 on Multisites

[creativeblogs]

Hi,

I’ve just run a plugin update of URE pro on two separate multisites. Both produced the same error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor-pro/pro/includes/classes/page-permissions-view.php on line 64

update to 4.38

Hi,

Thanks for this information.
Developing and testing under PHP 7.0, I missed somehow an earlier PHP versions.
Quick workaround – replace line 64 at /wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor-pro/pro/includes/classes/page-permissions-view.php

$capability = array_values($caps)[0];

with this version:

$caps_list = array_values($caps);
$capability = $caps_list[0];

Or rollback to previous version and wait an updated version. I will publish it next 1-2 weeks.

It seems that it’s critical for PHP versions 5.3 and earlier. PHP 5.4+ should parse such code normally. Do your sites still work under unsupported PHP version?

It’s time to think about an upgrade: PHP supported versions.
