 * In WP Dashboard, could not activate the plugin. Throws a fatal error.
 * The exact error shown:
 * > Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a **fatal error**.
 * > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘endforeach’ (T_ENDFOREACH) in C:\wamp\
   > www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bbpress-ignore-user\bbpress-ignore-user.php
   > on line 169
 * I am using wampserver (clean install) for coding a quick mod needed for a website.
   Installed the latest version of WP, bbPress and bbPress Ignore User.
 * Apache Version: 2.4.2
    PHP Version: 5.4.3 MySQL Version: 5.5.24

 * Solution (from forums.phpfreaks.com):
 * enable PHP “short open tag” because the plugin code uses it in some places.

 * Enabling short open tags is bad form. Fix the plugin by editing line 161:
 * Change
 * `<td class="data"><?`
 * To:
 * `<td class="data"><?php`
