 * The plugin installed correctly, but when I try to activate it, I get the following
   error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/www/caelanlandrig.
   com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/age-gate/admin/class-age-gate-admin.php on line
   975
 * No hurry, building this for a friend and she’s not in a big hurry.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@philster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philster/),
 * I can’t reproduce this. How did you install? Can you delete and install again
   from the plugin directory in wp-admin?
 * Cheers

 * Hey Philsbury,
 * Yep, already tried a reinstall. I installed it from the add plugins page in WordPress.
   Another plugin worked. I had this same error with an unrelated plugin as well,
   and had to use another.
 * If there’s any other information I can give you, let me know, happy to help.

 * THat’s pretty odd, especially if you’ve had it in other plugins.
 * What other plugins are you running?
