 * After trying to update this morning I received this error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ‘)’ in /homepages/
   31/d242892271/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/custom-content-shortcode/includes/ccs-
   loop.php on line 877
 * I cannot say for certain it is not an issue on my end as I have had some problems
   recently with my wp installation.
 * Thanks,

 * Thank you for pointing this out – it was an issue with PHP versions older than
   5.3. I rewrote the line to be compatible – please download the latest update.
   I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
 * If it’s possible, I also recommended upgrading the PHP on the server, in case
   other plugins may have a similar issue.

 * Thanks Eliot, working great now. I will pass these comments on to my hosting 
   company.
