 * When I activate this plugin, my entire site fails to load, and I get the following
   error message:
 * Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display
   handlers in Unknown on line 0
 * When I deactivate the plugin, the site works again immediately. Could you help
   with this? Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsite-doesnt-load-when-plugin-activated%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * I have changed the way it works 🙂 This issue shouldn’t happen anymore. Can you
   try the very last version?

 * Unfortunately it’s still not working, but there’s a new error message:
    Parse
   error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/content/37/11794937/html/wp-content/

 * Hi [@rosasharn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rosasharn/),
 * The plugin only works with PHP 5.4 or more. If you are using an older version
   of PHP you must absolutely upgrade, it is way too old 🙂 That will fix that issue,
   and many other issues you might have or will have. You can ask your hosting service
   to change the PHP version, but usually, you can do it by yourself in your hosting
   admin.

 * Thanks so much for the help; updating my PHP fixed the problem as you said. Thanks
   for making a great plugin!
