 * If you don’t get an image and you look into your error logs getting an message
   like
 * > <b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘
 * You should do the following:
 * Arrays are declared like this:
    `$children = []`
 * Some PHP-Versions don’t understand this, you should change these to
    `$children
   = array()`
 * After you’ve did this, is should work again.
 * I had this problem in version 1.0.1
