 * According to the message, the error is on the first line of that file. It’s probably
   caused by a missing ” or ‘ character.
 * Look for an instance where you have one of those on its own, or where you’ve 
   used one of those characters but followed it with the other one.

 * I solved it with a new file. I download the plugin again and upload a untouched
   file. Then it works. I think Notepad++ was then bandit 🙁
