 * Well, this is weird!
    It must be something to do with my site/setup specifically,
   but when I try to activate this plugin I get an error in the dashboard:
 *     ```
       Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
       Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /.../wp-content/plugins/wordpress-php-info/includes/classes/phpinfo-page.php on line 15
       ```

 * Are you possibly on an older version of WordPress? The function used here is 
   a very standard WordPress action/function combo so I don’t know why it would 
   cause an error for you.

 * No, everything was up to date apart from PHP. I used a different plugin in the
   end, which worked OK.
 * I did have some problems with Wordfence config though, so it might have been 
   that that caused the error, seemingly by your plugin.
 * Thanks (please close).
