YES! I have the exact same error. I’m trying to upload my site, which has been working just fine on my desktop localhost.

Hi Adam and Convolution admin, Can you find the PHP version that your server is running? If it’s an older version of PHP that would be the cause of the error you are seeing.

Hi Adam, Your other site might have PHP 5.4.43, but the WordPress admin on the site you sent credentials to us says it’s on PHP 5.2.17: |
