Trouble with Ewww Image Optimizer WordPress Plugin
I upgraded this plugin on my site this evening and it caused a HTTP ERROR 500 so it was inaccessible. If you have this plugin installed, you might be wise to remove it and find another plugin for image compression.
Here is the response from site support:
"After investigation we found that the plugin Ewww image optimize update has caused issues for your website leading it not to function normally. We have disabled the plugin and your site works fine now.
We also checked logs and found an error relating to the plugin which is as follows;
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting :: (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM)...
We suggest you to contact the plugin developer before activating the plugin on your site again."
It just so happens TopAchiever recommended another plugin today so I will try that one. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/topachiever/blog/n...
Thank you for reading!

P.S. I sent a message to Ewww Image Optimizer support to let them know about the trouble.

Yeah, I've dealt with my share of incompatible plugins. It could be another plugin, it could be the Wordpress theme you're using. The internet is full of little pot holes. Keep on navigating and try not to step in too many.
Hi Hal, Every once in a while I run into a problem with one. I try to be careful. "Pot holes" is right!
If you use a Windows machine, there is a great little app called PixResizer - all it does is resize images. You could do that prior to uploading them into WordPress.
