   This may be more of an installation question - not sure but there was a idre waqrning about posting plugin questions on the installation forum, so here I am.

   I have been happily running the 'Simple Image Widget' on one server (Windows 64-bit). When the site went live I moved it to a different server (Windows 32-bit) and exactly the same plugin refuses to activate - returning the following:

   Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

   PHP Parse error: parse error in C:\Websites\site.co.uk\wp-content\plugins\simple-image-widget\simpleimage.php on line 168

   I've reinstalled php so both are running the same version of php (5.2.9-2) but no change.

   I've deleted and reinstalled the widget but no luck. I tried (with very limited knowledge of php) to edit the plugin by removing the offending symbol - } - but fairly sure it was correct to start with so no joy.

   Has anyone encountered this or got any suggestions. The code is identical and previously worked.

   Many thanks.

   I fixed this problem by editing the simpleimage.php file to use complete php tags "<?php" instead of shorthand php tags "<?" in a couple of places.

   Hope this helps.

   I have updated the php tag style in the plugin, so this should be fixed now.
