Problem uploading autoshutoff.php
-
Hello, I’m trying to upload autoshutoff.php (http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Auto_shutoff_comments) into my plugins folder but when I upload and activate the plugin, I get the following error:
Warning: Unexpected character in input: ‘\’ (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/platonicrelation/public_html/wp-content/plugins/autoshutoff.php on line 7
Warning: Unexpected character in input: ‘\’ (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/platonicrelation/public_html/wp-content/plugins/autoshutoff.php on line 8
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/platonicrelation/public_html/wp-content/plugins/autoshutoff.php on line 8
I copied and pasted the plugin, following the directions exactly as instructed.
I’ve searched and another person had a similar problem: (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/52183?replies=5). Someone suggested that some characters in the copy/paste were altered which led to the error. This person then linked to a file that appears to fix the problem. Unfortunately, that link no longer works and I’ve got no idea what characters may have been altered to lead to this error. Does anyone have any ideas here? I’ll be willing to post the copy of the plugin that I have, if that would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!
