I am updating a site with the newest updater. However the category based navigation has stopped working. We now see this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/recordin/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php on line 54

Any insight on this matter would be so helpful!

Hi

That would suggest your site is running an old version of PHP - probably less than 5.5 - can you check if that's the case and if so update to 5.6 or above? We have some notes here on possible changes if using PHP 7 +

Hmm.

Yes, I have updated the server to 5.6 PHP

Any other ideas?

In other areas of the site that calls for products we see this error message:

No incfunctions.php file

If you log into your admin, what PHP version is reported at the bottom of admin.php?

It might be worth running the updater again too just in case not all files made it over successfully. Also check on those pages with an error that the the path to incfunctions.php is correct.

Working on installing Ecommerce Plus PHP 6.8.4

Site was at 6.0.2

The VSADMIN area is not working either. Comes with this error:

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/recordin/public_html/vsadmin/db_conn_open.php on line 14

What is going on?

The error code is also on the updatestore.php page.

Do I move forward and run another update with this error posted?

Your mysql database connection is outdated, you need to be using mysqli. It's an easy fix, the changes required are detailed here: https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=107737

Ok. The included.php file was using the correct coding. However db_conn_open.php needed to be updated.

Whew! - The error on the vsadmin and updatestore.php page is gone. I ran the updater again.

I have uploaded the revised file twice to the sever, refreshed my browser along with emptying my cache twice.

I am still see the same issue on the website. Anywhere accessing the database on the site example categories.php you see the following line:
No incfunctions.php file

Any ideas?

Have you checked the path on your pages is like this

vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php
