 * I’m using 2.7 wordpress and I’m guessing the plugin isn’t compatible with it,
   are you planning to upgrade so that it will install properly.
    After unzipping
   and uploading using filezilla to my plugin file, I then try to activate it. I
   receive this error:
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /hermes/bosweb/webxxx/xxxxx/ipw.
   xxxxxxxx/public_html/manfredeye/wp-content/plugins/wp-facebookconnect/fbconnect.
   php on line 38
 * I have ‘x’d out info I don’t want to post. 🙂
    hope this helps as I would like
   to use this if possible.

 * You are probably using PHP 4 but the plugin requires PHP 5.

 * I can confirm, that means you are running PHP4. Check with your host to see if
   you can switch versions. Sometimes you can do it yourself with a line in .htaccess.
