 * Hello trying to activate CM Pop-Up banners for WordPress, which have successfully
   activated on other websites, this error keeps occurring when trying to activate
   on a Bluehost website:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home2/qmsupply/public_html/
   curlys/wp-content/plugins/cm-pop-up-banners/package/cminds-free.php on line 3
 * It appears to be an issue with the pluign for some reason, new install to, and
   works on other websites, any ideas or steps to resolve it, any help is much appreciated.

 * Hi Spicoli,
 * We’ve seen this problem before and it’s caused by the old version of PHP being
   used on the hosting (<5.3) we strongly suggest upgrading the PHP version to at
   least 5.3 or newer (5.4, 5.5, 5.6) for compatibility and performance.
 * Best,
    CM Plugins
