Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '['

[Ronald Tjung]

Hi there,

I really like the new Social Theme. Unfortunately I get an error when activating it.
I just installed it on my test network site to see if it work fine with other plugins that I’m using on my official site. And this is the error I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /…/…/public_html/wp-content/themes/onesocial/buddyboss-inc/post-like.php on line 446

My test site URL is:
http://edulink.co.nz/

Hi @rotju,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please modify onesocial/buddyboss-inc/post-like.php on line 446

replace line 
$you_removed = array_diff( $post_users, [get_current_user_id()] );
with 
$you_removed = array_diff( $post_users, array( get_current_user_id() ) );

Hi @rotju if you can update PHP version to 5.4+ , it will work without any code edits

To run WordPress we recommend your host supports:
PHP version 5.6 or greater
MySQL version 5.6 or greater

Awesome! Thank you @vapvarun
That worked beautifully. I also updated the PHP version. I though I already updated it to 5.4… but clearly I didnt. It’s all good now.

Cheers,
Ronald
