 * The plugin was not activated because it caused a fatal error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/u/user/site.com/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/wp-gallery-download-link/wp-gallery-download-links.php on 
   line 201

 * The 201 line is:
    $url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, ‘full’ )[0]; // returns
   an array

 * Updated to WP 4.8, but the problem is still actual.

 * The solution is:
    change `$url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'full' )[0];//
   returns an array` to `$url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'full' ); // returns
   an array` and change `$output .= "<dt class='gallery-download'><a href='{$url}'
   download=''>Download</a></dt>";` to `$output .= "<dt class='gallery-download'
   ><a href='{$url[0]}' download=''>Download</a></dt>";`
 * Not it works!

 * I`m glad you were able to fix the issue, Andrew. I’ll look into it soon and update
   the plugin. Thank you!
