 * Hi,
    the extension is broken on WordPress 2.9.2 (shame on me!) when I try to 
   activate it, it triggers a fatal error :
 * > **Parse error**: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION
   > or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in **/homez.146/blckstr/www/wp-content/plugins/
   > google-analytics-for-wordpress/wp-gdata/wp-gdata.php** on line **14**.
 * Someone can help me? Thx!

 * Hello,
 * I get the same error activating for version 3.14
    The plugins page indicated 
   it was compatible though.
 * Any help greatly appreciated!

 * Sounds like the plugin is not compatible with PHP4.
