 * Today I tried to install this plugin but it gave me this error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ‘)’ in /XX/
   wp-content/plugins/smooth-slider/includes/smooth-slider-functions.php on line
   173.
 * I have the latest version of WordPress (3.1.2).
 * Can somebody help me on this one?
 * Thanks,

 * Hi
 * Did you get this fixed? I’m having the same problem on WordPress 3.1.3
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ‘)’ in ***/
   wp-content/plugins/smooth-slider/includes/smooth-slider-functions.php on line
   173
 * I tried installing SmoothSlider 2.3.4.1 and the older 2.3.4 and get the same 
   error on both.
 * Hope someone has the answer!
    Thanks.

 * Fixed!
 * Some hosting servers doesn’t support RSS Parse function and Smooth Slider was
   using that to get the name of “Top Supporters”. That function has been removed
   from the latest version i.e. 2.3.5 of SS. You will not receive that syntax error
   while activating the plugin.
