 * I downloaded the current front-end Editor plugin version from your site, and 
   when trying to activate rec’d this error message on the Plugin page:
    **Plugin
   could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. (in window:)Parse 
   error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’, expecting ‘(‘ in /homepages/3/d325557441/
   htdocs/website/wp-content/plugins/front-end-editor/front-end-editor.php on line
   73 Line 73 is: ‘class’ => FEE_Core::$options->chunks ? ‘FEE_Field_Chunks’ : ‘
   FEE_Field_Post’,
 * I searched this forum posts, and tried downloading the Development version. Same
   thing happened, only the error is on line 81 now. (same line content)
 * I tried adding the line to get PHP version into my wp-content.php like your FAQ
   suggests- but then I couldn’t even log into my admin page.
 * FYI: My host/server is 1and1.com, and I have had to do fixes for my theme to 
   get it to recognise that it’s php5. Could this be the issue?
 * Thanks for your help, your plugin looks amazing, I’d love to use it! Jana
