 * I tried to install the free version of your table rate shipping plugin, but when
   I tried to activate the plugin I received the following error message.
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/www/mattholderfund.com/wp-
   content/plugins/woocommerce-easy-table-rate-shipping/woocommerce-table-rate-plugin.
   php on line 43
 * Using
    Genesis Framewok, with a child theme. WooCommerce Version 2.4.5 Woocommerce
   Table Rate Shipping Version 1.1.0

 * Thanks – this is normally linked to using an older unsupported version of php
   on the site.
 * To check if this is the case, in WordPress please goto WooCommerce -> System 
   Status, then in the second section titled “Server Environment” you will see PHP
   Version. Please let me know what that says…
 * Many thanks

 * The setting said: PHP Version: 5.2.17 – We recommend a minimum PHP version of
   5.4.
 * I updated to 5.5 and all is well. Thank you for the help.
