 * Hi, I’m having trouble activating this plugin, I get this fatal error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\xampplite\htdocs\newsite\wp-
   content\plugins\portfolio-magic\admin\class-portfolio-magic-admin.php on line
   375
 * As you can see it’s a local installation. I’m running Genesis (latest version)
   with a child theme and I get the error with all other plugins deactivated too.

 * hey jaiji,
 * thank you for trying our plugin, i just tried the plugin on Genesis Version: 
   2.1.2.
    it worked fine here. can you let me know which version are you using,
   and try activate it on wordpress out of the box themes see if the error persists.
   to understand if the error comes from the theme or the plugin.

 * I’ve just tried it with a fresh install of Twenty Thirteen on a separate local
   WP installation running no plugins, same error. Also with Genesis 2.1.2 on the
   same installation, same result.

 * hey, ok i fixed the error
    made a new version for that 1.0.7. the error occurred
   cause i used a tag that is incompatible with old php versions. i notice that 
   Xampp Lite 1.7.2 is from 2009, i suggest you update it to a newer version, for
   better experience. anyway if you download again or wait for update, it should
   be ok. good luck, hope you will enjoy the plugin.
