 * This caused a fatal error (so the plugin was automatically deactivated) when 
   I installed and activated it. I have a fair number of plugins running already,
   so it was probably a plugin conflict, but that’s why I uninstalled it. If could
   submit a list of plugins I’m running now, if you like.

 * I just had exactly the same problem as gordselar and I only have 2 active plugins
   so definitely not a plugin conflict.

 * Perhaps it’s a conflict with something in the new version of WP? Now I’m curious.
   What theme are you running, Freddie?

 * I have the same problem, I’m running on Billie from today. The error notification
   is:
 * “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘, expecting ‘)’ in …. public_html/wp-
   content/plugins/imdb-widget/vendor/react/promise/src/functions.php on line 68”
 * Would really appreciate if you could work it out, the plugin seems a great tool!
