 * I get the following fatal error when I try to activate the plugin:
 * Fatal error: Access level to Admin_Apple_News_List_Table::extra_tablenav() must
   be public (as in class WP_List_Table) in /chroot/home/metsmeri/metsmerizedonline.
   com/html/wp-content/plugins/publish-to-apple-news/admin/class-admin-apple-news-
   list-table.php on line 500
 * I wrote my host about it and they replied:
 * This error means there is incorrect code in the file.
 * 394 protected function extra_tablenav( $which ) {
 * is protected and not public. You can try changing this to see if it fixes it.
   Since this is a developer issue we are unable to make this change.
 * Can anybody help?
 * Thanks,
 * Jode

 * Hi Bradford,
 * I am using WordPress 3.8.16 because my theme has incompatibility issues with 
   higher versions.
 * Thanks,
 * Joe

 * The plugin requires WordPress 4.0 or newer. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we
   can do to help you.
