 * Hello,
 * My website uses your plugin, and unexpectedly today the entire site went offline
   and was replaced with the following message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /home/pixelkin/pixelkin.org/wp-content/
   plugins/kebo-twitter-feed/inc/widget.php on line 217
 * We can’t login to see what’s on line 217, to attempt to fix the problem, or to
   deactivate the plugin. I’m going to try to access the site via Dreamhost once
   I get the login credentials, but in the meantime, is there anything I can do?
   Please help.
 * Courtney

 * Hi Courtney,
 * I am really sorry you have suffered such a nasty problem using our plugin. I 
   am sure I can help you get back up and running.
 * The error is saying that because of a misplaced fullstop, it has broken the PHP
   formatting and this caused a fatal PHP error.
 * From what I can see there is no fullstop in my code, or the code on WordPress.
   org, so my best guess is that some corruption occurred during the update process.
 * To fix this problem you need to overwrite the current ‘/kebo-twitter-feed/’ files,
   which are located in:
 * `/home/pixelkin/pixelkin.org/wp-content/plugins/kebo-twitter-feed/`
 * If you download the plugin from the wordpress.org page, you could then overwrite
   the current files with a fresh copy. Alternatively, to fix the error immediately,
   you can simply delete the ‘kebo-twitter-feed’ folder. Using either FTP or a file
   manager your host provides.
 * Let me know if you have any more problems, or have questions. I will be here 
   to answer.

 * Thank you so much for your fast reply!
 * I was able to remove the plugin from my FTP and now I’m going to try re-installing
   it from scratch. The site is back online! I really really appreciate your customer
   service.

 * Hi Courtney,
 * I am really pleased that your site is up and running again. It is always a horrible
   experience when an entire site goes down due to a PHP error.
 * I have tracked through each version of the plugin recently and cannot find any
   trace of the rogue fullstop. I also test each release on a local environment 
   and two sites using different hosting companies in an attempt to avoid problems
   like this.
 * I have never personally experienced a case of files being corrupted while a plugin
   is updated, but I will do everything I can to ensure I never cause fatal PHP 
   errors on users websites and if it happens I am always here to help resolve the
   problem.
