 * Help!
    I cannot activate QEM after updated WP to 5.0.3–sv_SE. All plugins are
   updated. Get the following error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/omtaeneu/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/quick-event-manager/quick-event-manager.php on line 2093
 * Have you seen this before? I turned all other plugins off and tried to activate
   QEM – same result.

 * So that line reads
    `$myRequest = ['cmd' => '_notify-validate'];`
 * My, not very educated, guess, is that `]` would need to be before `=>`. But the
   developer of this plugin would need to look into this.

 * 🙂
    For me, it’s all poetry… I hope this can be looked into quite soon. Will 
   a developer see this message here automatically or do I have to do something?

 * I had a look in other topics in this forum. It seems as if [@aerin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aerin/)
   is the busy person that sooner or later hopefully can have a look.

 * What version of PHP are you using?
 * Older versions of PHP can throw an error message.

 * Brilliant!
    It was an old php version: 5.3 Now changed to 7.3 and everything 
   works smooth again. This is the only web site that I am working with where I 
   don’t a in control of backend web hotel…
 * Thank you!!!
