 * Tried updating the plugin and got the following notice:
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home3/perciva1/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/mybooktable/includes/functions.php on line 335

 * I also tried to delete the plugin to reinstall it, but every time I try to delete
   it and click “Yes, Delete Files,” my screen just turns white. When I go back 
   to my admin page, the plugin is still there. So I can’t activate it, can’t downgrade
   it, and can’t re-download.

 * If you delete the plugin through the WordPress plugin interface it will trigger
   the uninstall there too. Just realize you will lose any books you have added.
 * We should have an updated version out either later today or early tomorrow with
   some fixes.

 * It looks like your version of PHP is out of date. MyBookTable requires PHP 5.4
   or newer. If you contact your host they should be able to update your version
   of PHP no problem.
