Hi Mike,
Oddly enough, I can’t replicate the syntax errors now. I’m on a different computer, so I’m wondering if I just needed to clear my cache after updating the PHP on the original computer. I’ll look into i more on Monday and if it continues for some reason, I’ll update this thread. Thanks for your help!
I’m running a staging site on a subdomain right now. The main website was running 5.2 and I upgraded it to 5.6 today (that’s the highest our hosting account type allows). That helped with some areas but I still see this issue in other sections of WordPress.
