 * Site is in local development. I had no problem setting the plugin up and it is
   still working on the front end. I have 2 shipping zones set up. I can view the
   setting options in one but when I try to view the options I set in my second 
   Shipping Zone – I get a
    Edit Shipping Method Parse error: syntax error, unexpected‘[‘
   in \wp-content\plugins\flexible-shipping\classes\settings-shipping-method-form.
   php on line 15
 * Can you please advise how I can fix this.

 * Sorry – I was wrong in my first post – I cant see the shipping options in either
   of my zones – they both show the same error.

 * Which PHP version are on your server? 5.3? Can you upgrade to 5.6 or above?

 * I am on 5.3 – and cant change it until I can replace my aging oscommerce store
   when I go live on the server.
    I had a copy of Flexible Shipping plugin version
   1.97 in one of my backup copies and copied the plugin folder over to my current
   version that I am working on. It fixed the issue and so if you are saying that
   any flexible shipping version higher than 1.97 is not backward compatible to 
   5.3 and will give this error, I guess I cant update the plugin any longer – or
   I have to look for a different plugin. Can you confirm this is what you are saying?

 * It seems that there is some kind of a problem with updating the plugin in WordPress.
   org repository. Guys, you will have to wait another day – sorry about the inconvenience.
   
   I’ll let you know when new version will be available for download.
