 * I have just uploaded your latest version (6.1.42) but I get `Parse error: syntax
   error, unexpected '[' in … /wp-content/plugins/yuzo-related-post/autoload.php
   on line 19` on the dashboard. I don’t have the latest WordPress, is this the 
   issue?

 * Hi 👋🏼, do you have **PHP 7** installed in _your hosting_? It could be the problem,
   this website has version `6.1.42` and has no problem on its website, please consult
   your hosting to update the PHP version.

 * Thanks, Lenin, we’re still on PHP5. That must be why. We just haven’t been able
   to get a tech to do the upgrade. Servers have become far too complex compared
   with 15 years ago.

 * Please ask for the update, that any normal hosting does in seconds. Now if your
   hosting can not do it fast I suggest you change your hosting. The plugin is modern
   and works with modern technology for its speed. I terminate the case until its
   update.
