   some sites.

 * Same problem PHP 7
 * I’ve solved removing comma (,) at line 467
 * From:
    `esc_html__( 'to help spread the word! :D' ),`

 * I updated to php 7.4 from 7.2 and the error disappeared. Seems odd because it
   should be a syntax error in both versions, but maybe they use different libraries.
