 * Hi I’m running WordPress 5.1.1 and get the following when trying to install this
   plugin (**** to cover my domain name)
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/****.org/domains/******.org/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/wp-post-expires/wp-post-expires.php on line 32
