 * Hi,
 * Is the error message always the same and does it always state this specific file?
   
   I’ve checked the file, I there is nothing else that should not be there in the
   file as the error states. Can you try to re-install the plugin to see if that
   solved the issue or manually check the mentioned file to check if there are no
   other characters than the PHP and the namespace declaration?
