 * Yesterday, my wp-admin shut down and wouldn’t let me back in. I had to search
   Google to figure out what to do. Finally found article on WPBeginner.com on [disabling all plugins](http://http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/)
   and figuring out which one caused the error/crash.
 * **It was this plugin on line 49**
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Not sure why I would need this plug in, but obviously causing problems that need
   to be fixed.

 * It is unfortunate that you would give a one star review instead of going through
   the support forum where you would find that the plugin now requires PHP 5.3. 
   If you have a lower version use version 1.0.
 * You can usually get upgraded to PHP 5.3 if you ask your host.
 * I’ve since uploaded a new version that will not even allow the plugin to activate
   if your PHP version is less than 5.3.
