 * When I go to activate the plugin, I get this error
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘do’ (T_DO), expecting identifier (T_STRING)

 * I’m uploading the fix in version 3.0.29 on WordPress.org right now, it should
   be available in a few minutes.
    I can’t replicate this issue on my sites so please
   check the new version, it should fix this for you.

 * I just updated to PHP 7 and it activated, and my site is up … so it needs a warning
   not to use 5.4 at least.
 * Thanks,
    Linda

 * Ah that’s probably why I wasn’t seeing any errors on my sites while testing this
   version.
    Version 3.0.29 should fix this in older PHP versions too. [@krbmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krbmedia/)
   version 3.0.29 is now available, please try updating to this one and let me know
   if it fixes the issue for you too?

 * Fix was confirmed by another user on github so I’m closing this one as fixed.
   
   Thank you for reporting this so quickly so we could get it fixed within minutes.

 * That’s ok, right now they’re the same thing. The version on github just gets 
   updated a few minutes earlier because uploading plugins via SVN to workpress.
   org is a slower process than updating on github.
