 * Hi!
 * When I try to install this on a test server, I get at Http error 500.
    As soon
   as I delete the folder from the plugins folder, my site come back up again.
 * I’m using WordPress 4.5.3 with a custom theme.
    Listing version 0.3.0 is installed
   an activated.
 * Cheers,
    Peder

 * Can you please [enable debug mode](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#WP_DEBUG)
   on your site and activate the Listings Jobs plugin again? This might show us 
   the actual error that is being suppressed under that 500 HTTP error.
 * Can you also please verify that you’re running the latest stable version of Listings
   Jobs (currently v0.2.1)?

 * Hi!
 * Here is the “instal result”:
 * >  Laster ned installasjonspakke fra ([https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/listings-jobs.0.2.1.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/listings-jobs.0.2.1.zip))…
   > Pakker ut pakken…
   > Installerer utvidelsen…
   > Installerte utvidelsen Listings Jobs 0.2.1.
 * So far so good.
    And the I activate the plugin. Then I just get this: `Parse 
   error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '
   $' in /DATA/apache/html/stage/wp-content/plugins/listings-jobs/src/Plugin.php
   on line 64`
 * Cheers 🙂

 * Thanks for reporting this issue.
 * It looks like we’ve got some code that needs to be refactored for PHP 5.3 compatibility.
 * As we want to keep a minimum requirement of 5.3 we’ll working on a quick fix 
   right now and will update you once we’ve got something committed to .org for 
   you to download and get on your way.
 * Again, appreciate you reporting this issue and your patience here.
 * Kind Regards,
    Scott

 * Hi!
 * No worries. I was starting to look at PHP as the culprit myself.
 * If you need to know the server I’m working on is using PHP 5.3.3.
 * Kind regards,

 * Thanks again for reporting this. I’ve just released version 0.2.2 and that version
   fixes this issue. Please let us know if this resolved all the issues that you
   have. 🙂

 * Coen – Although not a developer I do extensively use the Job Manager plugin in
   two sites focused on third party recruitment.
 * Are you open to feedback and suggestions from a user actually using the plugin?
   If so I’d love to give a few real world examples of using it and problems in 
   using it that could be easily corrected to add value.

 * Yes, absolutely Bill. All feedback is absolutely valuable, not just developers
   feedback. We’re confident that the majority of users of our platform aren’t developers,
   so non-developer problems are probably the most important for us. 🙂
 * Please create a new forum thread for each problem you find. It’s easier for us
   to deal with multiple issues in separate threads. Thank you!
