 * Plugin cannot be activated.
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /wp-
   content/plugins/wp-bigcommerce/src/WPBigcommerceProducts.php on line 36.
 * Any ideas on what is going on? Thanks.

 * Thanks for pointing this out. The error was related to short array syntax being
   used in one of the core files. This is a PHP 5.4+ feature, so it was causing 
   an error in older versions of PHP.
 * The latest tag (1.2) should resolve this problem.
 * Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any other problems or feature
   suggestions / requests.
