 * HI, I have installed the plugin but when I tried to activate it I got the following
   fatal error:
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a **fatal error**.
 * **Parse error**: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in ***\*\*/wp-content/plugins/wp-
   plotly/wp-plotly.php** on line **24**
 * (where *** is the initial part of my path where the wordpress installation is
   located)
    I check the PHP script and could not see something fishy. Is there 
   an chance you understand why this happens? I would love the script implemented
   in my site.
 * Thanks
    tjm++
