The plugin requires PHP short tags to be enabled

    When I try to activate this plugin I get the following message:

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘PHP short tags are disabled, please set the short_open_tag directive to “On” in your php.ini’ in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/distraction-free-writing-mode-themes/lib/microtemplate.class.php on line 18

    I know it’s intentional, but using PHP short tags in WordPress plugins and themes is not recommended. Besides, I can’t see any reason for this requirement.

    Hey Bartosz!

    This is a bug. I am using short tags in some of the admin templates but there’s code to handle and rewrite them “on the fly” if short_open_tags isn’t enabled on the server.

    I will release a fixed version later this evening, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

    Bartosz,

    This should be fixed as of version 1.5.

    Let me know if you are having any further issues!
