    Hi,
    When I’m trying to activate the plugin I get this error message:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/clients/ftp1/domains/*******.com/html/wp-content/plugins/json-ld-for-article/json-ld-article.php on line 23

    My WP is up to date.

    Hi,

    Strange – there should be no [ on line 23. Did you install the plugin using WordPress’ plugin installer or ftp?

    Strange indeed. I tried to install it both ways: through WordPress and via FTP. I also tried different blogs – same error every time I’m trying to activate it. All the blogs are hosted on the same host, so I’m starting to think it might be it. I don’t have any problems with any other plugins, though.

    It could indeed have something to do with your webhost.

    I just uninstalled the plugin from a couple of my sites and reinstalled it from the repository with no problems.

    Do you know which version of php your hosting service uses?

    Oh yes: and what other plugins you are using currently? I could try to replicate the issue myself.

    I don’t think other plugins can be the cause, since one of the blogs don’t have any installed, but the issue still appears.

    I just asked my webhost and they said they use php 5.2 on my server.

    Ok, the php version is actually the problem: some of the code in the script functions only with php 5.4 and later versions. If this is a common issue, we must think about a workaround.

    Thank you very much for your input – this is our first published plugin and we are still learning ??

    Greetings,

    Glad you found the problem. 5.2 is pretty old, I guess. I should ask my webhost if they can update it.
