 * I greatly appreciate this plugin and the work that has gone into it!
 * The latest update caused a server error and the plugin needed to be deactivated
   in order to get wordpress to load. When attempting to reactivate I get the error:
 * “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Fatal error:
   Can’t use method return value in write context in [path removed for security]/
   wp-content/plugins/wp-meetup/wpm-options.php on line 353 “

 * [@usrbingeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/usrbingeek/) Thanks for the
   error message! It made the fix very quick. I just pushed up version 2.3.1 which
   should fix the issue for you. By the way, that error message is only thrown if
   you are using an old version of PHP – before 5.5. You should probably look into
   upgrading your PHP version 🙂
