 * Fresh install – No, when I upgraded it broke the whole site, so I activated debug
   mode, found that this plugin was causing the problem, deleted it via SFTP then
   reinstalled, that’s when I got that error.
 * Theme – Gameleon 5.2
 * Plugin – 1.0.1
 * Wordpress – 4.7.3

 * Hey [@buckoa51](https://wordpress.org/support/users/buckoa51/), any chance you
   can let me know what version of PHP you’re running?
    I think I’ve worked out 
   what’s up.
