 * Please remove linebreak after the `<?php` and plugin header block comment. It
   creates problems when trying to activate the plugin.

 * Hello,
 * Yes can do, I’ve not come across a situation where this actually causes a problem
   though, can you give me some info on your environment as I’d be interested in
   reproducing this.
 * Should be able to push an update with this shortly.
 * Cheers,

 * Just pushed out V0.0.9 which should take care of this for you. Any problems let
   me know.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the update. The website I was working with is hosted at A2 hosting
   with the latest WP and PHP (7.3.x).
 * I do not have previous experience with this type of error issue with whitespace
   before the comment block. Although I do not usually add whitespace before plugin
   headers.

 * Hey,
 * Cheers for that, yeah strange I’ve never come across this and I always have a
   break there, not for any reason, just habit. Looking through a load of other 
   plugins it seems that no one else ever has a space there and have seen other 
   references to your issue elsewhere online.
 * Anyway, as I said, the latest version doesn’t have that break so should be all
   sorted now.
 * Cheers,
