 * Recent update has broken my site. I can remove the plugin and the site works 
   again.
 * Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home/xxxxx/

 * This means you have a php version older than 5.6 (probably 5.2 or 5.3, versions
   that are out of support for several years already). EME requires at least 5.6,
   as indicated since over a year on WP plugin site.
    So upgrade your php version
   and things will work.

 * Yup…that did it.
    I wasn’t hosting that site so it didn’t get updated a while
   back when I updated my server.

 * I had 5.6 still got the same exact fatal error. I had to delete the plugin folder
   via the file manager, on one my client’s website. Should I change the PHP to 
   7? Although, it’s not recommended by the hosting company.

 * Using 2.0.72 you should no longer have that error.
    On the other hand: php 7 
   not recommended by your hosting company?? Then search another one, even wordpress
   recommends 7.2: [https://wordpress.org/download/](https://wordpress.org/download/)
 * Also: 5.6 will be out of support in 18 days:
