 * **The Error**: Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
   
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE
   or ‘$’ in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/wp-content/plugins/better-font-awesome/
   better-font-awesome.php on line 134
 * **My Theme**: I am using the Woocommerce Buyshop Theme version: 1.1.1 by ETHEME
   from Themeforest.
 * **My URL**: [http://dev.naturalremedies-usa.com/](http://dev.naturalremedies-usa.com/)
 * Any help?

 * You can run phpinfo() to check your version – if it’s 5.2 or less, you should
   really update.
