 * Plugin failed to be activated in my site:
 * > Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed; If you would like
   > to pass argument by reference, modify the declaration of _e(). in /home/username/
   > public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/google-adsense-dashboard/google_adsense_dashboard.
   > php on line 235
 * I’m using WP 4.1, PHP 5.4, MySQL 5.6.
    Any ideas? Thanks! 🙂

 * FYI: looks like your code may need some patches to make it compatible with PHP
   5.4. Some interesting links:

 * PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES.
    I have accidentally installed this plugin with the
   same name than yours: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-adsense-dashboard/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-adsense-dashboard/)
 * I tried your plugin and it works with complete awesomeness, as usual with your
   products 🙂
