   plugins/cta/classes/class.post-type.wp-call-to-action.php on line 1
 * I’m on PHP 5.5 and have tried the default theme. What’s the issue? This error
   I receive after I’ve uploaded the files and try to activate the plugin.

 * your ftp client might be mushing the code together.
 * This happened to me using Filezilla. You need to set the data transfer type to
   binary.
 * Some times your software installation might not work because you need to transfer
   your files in Binary . This video shows you where to change the transfer type
   in filezilla.
