 * I didn’t add any shortcode.
 * After the plugin update, i got 500 Internal Server error(chrome)/white page(mozilla).
   
   500 Internal Server error was showned in any website page and the dashboard.
 * I set debug mode on and received the error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected‘[‘
   in …/wp-content/plugins/email-before-download/includes/class-email-before-download.
   php on line 96
 * thank you.
