 * Hello!
    When I want to activate the plugin I get the following error message:
 * The plugin can not be activated because it generates a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in …/wp-content/plugins/wp-login-
   box/plugin.php on line 210
 * Can you help me?

 * Even if i’m not the Plugin author, i did some research to your issue.
 * The only thing i found out that this could be an PHP Version issue.
    which PHP
   Version do you use? Maybe update it to the latest version.

 * What that line does is allow you to use the plugin as a widget. To do that, that
   line of code uses something called an anonymous function. These anonymous functions
   were introduced to php after version 5.3.
 * The next plugin update will stop using the anonymous function.
