 * I just updated the plugin and it crashed site. The error log says”
    [31-May-2018
   14:12:42 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘,’ or‘;’
   in /home/j93df0x5apwc8q/public_html/wp-content/plugins/conversation-watson/includes/
   settings/setup.php on line 5
 * Also, prior to this problem, we have yet been able to connect to watson. Will
   need additional help on this as well but first we need to get parse error fixed
   and re-install the Watson Assistant plugin.

 * Hi Kathy,
    Sorry for your difficulties. The parse error has been fixed in version
   0.7.3 of the plugin, so you can reinstall the plugin without issue. Do you need
   help removing the plugin from your website?
