    Tried updating your plugin from v1.0.14 to v1.0.15 and received an error prompt as follows:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) (line 378)

    Have now disabled it using FTP access and will NOT be updating your plugin on other sites until this is resolved.

    Thank YOU in advance.

    Hey @trible!

    Is there a filename with that error message?

    Aha. It’s the ::class notation. You can fix it by upgrading to PHP 5.5 or higher.

    Our servers run PHP 5.4 currently, so this has made the site unusable with this plugin. #disabling #deleting

    You may want to also consider updating your plug-in data to avoid others having the same issue.

    I released v1.0.16 shortly after this report which fixes the issue for people using PHP 5.3 and 5.4.

    For some reason it’s not showing up as the default version.

    Ah, I forgot to set the “Stable tag” to v1.0.16. It’s live now.

    @trible: Happy to hear that, but thanks for the report so other people don’t run into it with v1.0.16 👍🏻
