 * Hello, here is the error I get :
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/www/deleted.com/wp-content/plugins/
   wp-first-letter-avatar/wp-first-letter-avatar.php on line 147
 * It is a clean wordpress installation. First plugin to install.
    Version 1.2.8

 * Hello,
    My plugin requires at least PHP 5.4. 99% you have version 5.3 or lower.
   PHP 5.3 is not longer supported by PHP team and it is no longer safe to use PHP
   5.3. Please contact your hosting provider and tell them you need at least PHP
   5.4. They will update it within couple of minutes without any extra charge for
   you. You should also be able to do it yourself in your admin panel (such as cPanel
   or DirectAdmin), but this option is not always made available by hosting providers.
 * Please let me know how it goes.
 * Kind regards,
    Daniel Wroblewski

 * Hi there,
    I’m marking this one as resolved, since everything indicates that 
   the problem is directly related to not using up-to-date PHP version. Using PHP
   5.4 or higer fixes this problem.
 * Kind regards,
    Daniel Wroblewski
