# parse error?

 * I just updated my plugins, and this little gem showed up when I tried to go to
   my site.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/content/48/13253348/html/wp-
   content/plugins/nofollowr/nofollowr.php on line 61
 * I was able to restore via FTP, so I just updated all but Nofollowr, and everything
   seems to be working. Should I just uninstall the plugin, or is there an easy 
   fix for this?
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Sorry about that! I began using a feature of PHP 5.4, without thinking how many
   people may still be stuck on 5.3 and below.
 * I have pushed an urgent update which corrects this. The auto-update seems to 
   be slow today, but if you need the update urgently you can download it from [https://nofollowr.com](https://nofollowr.com)
   and install manually. Or just wait until the auto-update appears in your plugin
   page.
 * Thank you for this report!

 * No worries at all. I just thought I would let you know. I don’t need it right
   away, so I will try it tomorrow. Thanks for the speedy reply. That deserves a
   donation, IMHO.
