 * Hi!
 * Thanks for a simple but great plugin!
 * Recently I’m getting this message on new installations.
 * Do you know why and if it is because of the plugin, will there be a fix?
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Fatal error: Cannot use $this as parameter in /customers/b/8/3/example.com/httpd.

 * Hello
 * Thank you for reporting this. It seems to be an issue with php 7.1. I will fix
   this and release an update in a couple of days.
