 * I installed wordfence yesterday. Today, I get a HTTP ERROR 500 when trying to
   reach my site. I disabled all plugins, then tried to activate wordfence and get
   this error message:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=>’ (T_DOUBLE_ARROW)
   in /home/bullbor/public_html/rivul.com/akronstake/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/
   lib/wordfenceScanner.php on line 394
 * Any idea what’s going on?

 * Hi John,
    Did you try to delete the plugin’s files and re-install it again via
   the Dashboard?
 * If you are still encountering this error even after reinstalling the plugin, 
   try to disable other plugins -temporarily- and activate Wordfence alone.
 * Let me know how it goes,
    Thanks.

    Since I haven’t heard back from you I am assuming that the instructions
   helped you solve your issue so I am marking this topic as resolved.
 * If however, for whatever reason, you are still experiencing this issue and it
   is not resolved please respond to the post, which will move it back up the queue,
   and mark this topic as “not resolved”.
 * Thank you.
