 * Using your plugin and there is an issue
 * Please change “$CategoryImage = new static;” TO “$CategoryImage = new self;” 
   because if you place the static it will generate below error
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE
   or ‘$’ i.e plugin is not compatible with above php version 5.6.3
 * You can find line number 32 WPCustomCategoryImage.php
 * Thanks

 * On further note: We are using your plugin on the more then 500 sites that has
   different servers and your plugin update hit all our sites with the error.
 * Finally got all sites fixed and it took us nearly 4 hours by team of two.
 * Really hard time 🙁

 * Hi,
 * I don’t think thats a problem with PHP 5.6+ .
    Can you provider more info about
   your PHP Version? Are you sure you are using PHP 5.6?
 * Here is the PHP Documentation for that:
    [http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php](http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php)
 * And here is an example with “the same code”: [https://3v4l.org/rWbSB#v510](https://3v4l.org/rWbSB#v510)(
   look at the PHP version).
 * That line was never changed (since version 1.0.0).

 * wpsmartapps,
 * I made this change to avoid appearing more mistakes like that.
 * You are not using PHP 5.6 (or +).
 * Please update WP Custom Category Image.
