 * Hi there,
 * I’ve seen this plugin used and like the look of it a lot but unfortunately when
   I try and activate it I am receiving the error below:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /www.mysite.com/blog/wp-content/
   plugins/wp-product-review/inc/cwp_frontpage.php on line 1
 * Would really appreciate it if you can help me resolve this.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * Did you upload the plugin through the WP Dashboard or via FTP?

 * Hi Marius, I uploaded via FTP initially… does this make a difference and how 
   so?
 * Thanks for your help

 * It should not make a difference if you set Transfer Type to Binary. If you are
   using FileZilla, go to Transfer-> Transfer Type -> Binary and try again.
 * Or you can simply upload it from your dashboard straight from wordpress.org repository.
 * Best regards,
    Marius
