 * upon installing and Activating, WP issues this error:
    Plugin could not be activated
   because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home6/villagev/public_html/vv/wp-
   content/plugins/wp-email-login/email-login.php on line 82
 * This error appears in the WP Plugins control page.
    It looks like the use of 
   the language translation function call is quite wrong, missing a close parenthesis?

 * Same error here; unfortunately this shutdown my entire network of sites. I’m 
   not sure how to fix the error at the moment, but if you would like to get your
   sites back up and running, you can do like I did and temporarily comment out 
   the last few lines of the file with the error so you can deactivate the plugin.

 * There’s a missing ) at line #82 in the mentioned code, just before “; ?>”.
    There’s
   only one ) where it should be )); ?>, this solves the error.

 * Very sorry for this bug everyone. The plugin is fixed now so you can update again
   and get the working version.
 * If you need to, you can delete the plugin from your WP install and that will 
   automatically disable it, then you can re-install it.
