 * Is this plugin actually supported as the response on the support page is really
   slow?
 * I am getting an error when trying to active the plugin:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/gdprhelp/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/wpfavs/admin/class-wpfavs-admin.php on line 129

 * You are using an old php version. Plugin required at least 5.4

 * Double check php version please. Create a info.php file in your root directory
   and add <?php phpinfo();?> to see which version it says.
    That error means old
   php version

 * Sorry, you were correct my PHP version had changed to an old version. Not sure
   why that happened. Plugin working now, will be signing up for the pro service
   soon. Thanks
