Activation error

    When I try to activate the plugin, I get an error:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /my-path/wp-content/plugins/pdf-thumbnails-support-test/pdf-thumbnails-test.php on line 17

    I assume that means my server does NOT support WP’s PDF thumbnails. But is this activation error how the plugin is intended to tell me that? Or should it install normally, and then be used in Admin > Tools?

    Hey @tzeldin88, can you check the version of PHP on your server for me?

    @eclev91 The plugin is working now!
    Thanks for following up on this. I had uninstalled it, due to the activation error. I just now re-installed and the activation was successful. My PHP is 5.6.31, though it’s possible it was upgraded after the failed activation attempt.
