 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to install this plugin but I keep getting a fatal error when I press“

   or ‘(‘ in /../../../wp-content/plugins/post-status-scheduler/post-status-scheduler.

 * Sajid, I checked the php settings of my hosting service (if you have Cpanel, 
   go to Software and Services > Select PHP version and choose the most recent one
   available). Hope that helps!

 * Hi Solosimar,
 * I have checked my cpanel and found the following PHP versions and PHP 5.2 is 
   checked. Would you suggest me to check something else?
 * PHP 5.2
    PHP 5.2 (Single php.ini) PHP 5.2 (FastCGI) PHP 5.4 PHP 5.4 (Single php.
   ini) PHP 5.4 (FastCGI)
 * Thanks for your help.

 * With no warranties… I would give a try with 5.4 🙂
