 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘)’ in /home/usacarry/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/classes/Settings.php on line 103

 * [@lukemccoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukemccoy/) what PHP version
   are you using? It looks like it’s below 5.6. The plugin should work from PHP 
   5.4 though. I’ll come up with a fix for that, but I strongly recommended you 
   to update to PHP 7+ IF your website is compatible with it.

 * [@lukemccoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukemccoy/) I’ve just updated
   the same tag and it should work with your PHP version. Please download the plugin
   again and let me know if works now.

 * I’m waiting for my developer to upgrade one part of the site that cannot run 
   on PHP7 so that I can upgrade. Thanks for making a fix in the meantime. I’ll 
   keep an eye out for that. Will you post in this thread when it is live?

 * [@lukemccoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukemccoy/) The tag was re-updated
   so it is “live”. Just delete the plugin and download it again. The error should
   not show anymore. Can you let me know which version of PHP are you using now?
   Just curios.
