Body: <p>Tried installing on a WP server.
  Versions: WordPress version 6.0.3
  Active theme: Twenty Twenty-One (version 1.6)
  Current plugin: CiviCRM (version 4.6)
  PHP version 7.4.32
  Zend Engine v3.4.0,
  Zend OPcache v7.4.32
  (what's a Zend..?)</p>
  <p>Installation location is /home//crm/wp-content/plugins; I don't have root access: this is a shared server, but I do have proper bash access as a user via cPanel terminal.
  Installation crashes at the point I go to wp-admin settings and click on &quot;civiCRM installer&quot;.</p>
  <p>The diagnostics are
  &quot;There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.&quot;
  and
  An error of type E_PARSE was caused in line 1 of the file /home//crm/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/packages/DB/DataObject.php(207) : eval()'d code. Error message: syntax error, unexpected 'clone' (T_CLONE), expecting '('</p>
  <p>Bug?</p>
  <p>This looks similar to <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/38889/installation-on-local-wordpress-server">Installation on local wordpress server</a> but using much more recent versions.</p>
  <p>In that trouble ticket the user did some digging into what the database itself was doing. I don't have that knowledge.</p>
  <p>Any ideas?</p>

  That's a very old version of CiviCRM that is probably not be compatible with PHP 7.4 or WordPress 6. CiviCRM 4.6 [was released in 2015](https://civicrm.org/blog/kurund/announcing-civicrm-46-release) so is very old and no longer supported.
  
  As Christian suggests, I'd recommend that you install the latest version of CiviCRM (currently 5.54) from: <https://civicrm.org/download>
