 * Hi there!
 * I just installed the plugin as it looks very promising, but when trying to activate
   it I get the following error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /var/www/vhosts/40/150933/webspace/
   siteapps/WordPress-407302/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/click-tweet/click-and-tweet.
   php on line 80
 * I looked into the code as I know a bit about it and see no reason why this ‘[‘
   should be unexpected. I removed and reinstalled the plugin and the problem is
   still there, so I figured I’d just ask you how this can be resolved.
 * I look forward to using the plugin!

 * Hey,
 * I get the same exact error. I hope the plugin author would check what’s up with
   it.
 * I too want to use this plugin so bad. Thanks.

 * Hey [@chevindu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chevindu/),
 * What version of php are you currently running? It may be that you have an older
   version of php that doesn’t recognize “[“.
