The two parsing options are: 1. via the SimplePie Core Plugin (simplepie.org) 2. via the SimpleXML functions in PHP5 * Can you install/activiate the [SimplePie Core plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simplepie-core/) and then retry the Profilactic plugin? * If that doesn’t work, I can put together a version of the script with debugging code so we can figure out what is triggering your error. * Regards. * [rjw3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjw3/) * (@rjw3) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-profilactic-plugin-could-not-be-activated/#post-746153) * I tried activated the SimplePie Core plugin and then tried to activate the Profilactic plug in and I ran into the same problem. * [ahpatel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahpatel/) * (@ahpatel) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-profilactic-plugin-could-not-be-activated/#post-746187) * Thanks guys.

Installing it resulted in following error: * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /home/ultrarac/public_html/justbloggin/ myblogg/wp-content/plugins/profilactic/profilactic.php on line 341 * Also installed and activated SimplePie Core plugin. * Cheers, Colin. * [hornlo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hornlo/) * (@hornlo) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-profilactic-plugin-could-not-be-activated/#post-746269) * I also get the syntax error @ line 341 that colin.gardom reported.

Full text: * > Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /home/tommy/public_html/wp-content/ > plugins/profilactic/profilactic.php on line 337 * Taking a look at line 337 leads to a try statement. Try is something introduced in PHP 5 (I’m on PHP 4). I’m wondering if the others experiencing this are on PHP 4, too? * Can’t wait for a fix. * [ahpatel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahpatel/) * (@ahpatel) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-profilactic-plugin-could-not-be-activated/#post-746288) * My apologies… in my haste to get this out before I left for Memorial Day, I accidentally published the wrong file. * The update (v1.2.2) *should* really take care of this!
