 * Tried to move a website using this plugin to a new server with a newer version
   of php running. It took the whole site down with a Parse error: syntax error,
   unexpected T_STRING in /user-files/user_files.php on line 1

 * Line 1 is simply <?php, I don’t see how this could have broken anything. This
   has been tested from php 5.2 to 5.4 and has worked without issue. Updates are
   in the works but I have been busy and don’t know when they will be ready.
