 * I can’t install the plugin. I get the following error:
 * > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘public’ (T_PUBLIC) in /var/www/testboks.

 * I’m not able to replicate this, have you tried to activate the plugin on another
   site using a core WordPress theme and disabling all other plugins?

 * Yep, with theme twentyfifteen and no other plugin activated.
    Same error message.
   I also tried another WP installation on another server (with other PHP version
   and so on). Same error message. WP version is 4.4.2

 * I’m grateful you’ve reported this issue but I’m really sorry I still can’t replicate
   it, is it with the same host? If it is have you reported this issue to them?
   
   Also if you have updated to the latest version 1.1.7 and you still have an error
   can you notify me of the error you’re logging please.

 * No, it’s not with the same host. Complete different environment, complete different
   providers.
    Ok. I tried a third environment (a server I run by myself) and it
   works. So it seems something is here right what’s wrong at the two others. But
   what is it that’s wrong? Hm. The error message remains the same as I wrote above.`
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'public' (T_PUBLIC) in /var/www/testboks.
   com/html/tausendsassa/wp-content/plugins/insta-grabagram/admin/class-insta-grab-
   admin.php on line 309` I updated all three to the latest version 1.1.8. All others
   plugins are deactivated and I use a default theme.

 * What is your environment setup, php version etc, I can see if I can replicate
   your setup locally and test

 * PHP Version 5.6.7-1, FastCGI, Memcache … doesn’t work
    PHP Version 5.6.4-4ubuntu6.4,
   Apache 2.0 Handler, Memcache … doesn’t work PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.21, FastCGI…
   works
 * Don’t know what else could be important.
