 * When I try to activate GDPR on my WP site, this is the error I’m getting.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘, expecting ‘)’ in /home2/mlombard/public_html/
   melissalombard.com/wp-content/plugins/gdpr/admin/class-gdpr-telemetry.php on 
   line 418
 * I have no clue what that means and after reading the forum in search of an answer,
   I did update my PHP to 5.6 but I’m still getting the error.
 * Any ideas?

 * If you update the plugin you should no longer receive that error.
 * Thanks!
