 * I recently updated this plugin (Content Views) and got a blank screen when I 
   tried to get back into my website. I couldn’t even get into my admin side, so
   I got onto my server via FTP and trashed this plugin’s folder. Then I reinstalled
   and it gave me this error, “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION 
   in /var/www/vhosts/biketalk.co.za/httpdocs/wp/wp-content/plugins/content-views-
   query-and-display-post-page/includes/functions.php on line 1236”

 * I’ve mailed the developer (palaceofthemes@gmail.com) to put the question to him
   in person. I’ve subsequently logged onto my server and deleted this plug-in’s
   folder so I can get back into my website front-end. Not sure if that was the 
   right thing to do but I’m not gonna sit with a dead website. Pity I can’t download
   version 1.49 again

 * mtesites=Marcos Evangelista..(I went with the wrong login).. I’ve thought about
   doing the same, except that before I try to solve without having to delete the
   plugin, if I put new here!!
