 * Anyone else ran into this issue when trying to activate the plugin on a WP 4.5.3
   site running php 5.4?
 *  Fatal error: Function name must be a string in wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/

 * Hi there –
 * I’ve posted this in GitHub for the developers to take a look at and will update
   you as soon as they are able to weigh in, okay?

 * The developers were initially just going to be able to fix this by updating one
   of the libraries built into the plugin, but found that wouldn’t work, so we’re
   still trying to figure this one out – I just didn’t want you to think we’d forgotten
   about you!
 * Thanks,
    Kat

 * I’m listing this as resolved for now because I haven’t heard back – if this is
   still happening to you or if you’re here looking for help comment here if the
   issue is the same. Otherwise please start a new topic!
 * Thanks!
