 * After updating the plugin, my site was inaccessible. I received the following
   error message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /damagedmirror.com/wp-content/plugins/
   printfriendly/pf.php on line 166
 * For now, I’ve manually deleted the plugin via cpanel, but this is something you’ll
   want to look into, as I’m sure I’m not the only one getting the error.

 * I have the same issue.
 * Deleted the plugin and installed a older version that I had on backup.
