 * On some versions of PHP, you may encounter a similar message when activating 
   a plugin that refers to a problem in line 126 of the eazy_flickity_slider_shortcode.
   php file.
 * The solution is simple. Just replacing line 126
 * $matches[$key] = [‘sliderid’ => $thisname, ‘width’ => $thiswidth, ‘height’ =>
   $thisheight];
 * with
 * $matches[$key] = array(‘sliderid’ => $thisname, ‘width’ => $thiswidth, ‘height’
   => $thisheight);
 * Have a nice day!

 * Thanks for the fix and adding it to the support area!
    I will try to get the 
   plugin updated and added to the repo.
