 * Hi everyone,
    I try to activate the plugin 1.6.0 with WP 5.0.2 and get the error“
   Parse error:syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘, expecting ‘)’ on …../simple-facebook-
   page-plugin.php line 52” I edited the file and changed by hand starting on line
   52 all [ ] for array( …) and finally works. However, I want to know if this error
   is due to my php 5.0.3 version and maybe it’s time to migrate to php7 … Thanks
   in advance and I hope that this be useful to someone Happy new year 2019!

 * Hi,
 * I’m running PHP 7.2 with 1.6.0 on WP 5.0.2 and it activated fine. Only problem
   i have is that the widget isn’t displaying anything other than the header whether
   I use my page or the default facebook one.
 * HTH
