 * I’m really excited for the opportunity to try your plugin.
    But I ran into a 
   bit of a problem when trying to activate it:
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ‘)’ in …\wp-content\
   plugins\custom-content-shortcode\includes\ccs-loop.php on line 877

 * Thank you for pointing this out – it was an issue with PHP versions older than
   5.3. I rewrote the line to be compatible – please download the latest update.
   I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
 * If it’s possible, I also recommended upgrading the PHP on the server, in case
   other plugins may have a similar issue.
