 * It looks like you’re on older version of PHP.
    This is the line that causing 
   this error: uasort( $plugins, function ( $a, $b ) {});
 * here is more about anonymous functions [http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php](http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php)
 * If you could provide more details about your setup I could probably adjust the
   plugin to support that version of PHP.
 * Thanks and sorry for the plugin to cause problems. As you may know so many people
   using different versions of PHP and it can get very complicated to make sure 
   plugins works with all of them.

 * [@dettoboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dettoboy/) I replaced removed
   anonymous function. But yeah 5.2 is way too old and insecure. I would highly 
   recommend you to upgrade it.
