Kometschuh on "[Plugin: Category Posts Widget] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on line 11"

Hi all,

I'm trying to install this plugin, but I have not been able to install it successfully.

When I try, I get this:

"Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home8/sitename*/public_html/wp-content/plugins/category-posts/cat-posts.php on line 11

I omitted my actual site name folder directory here for security (sitename*). You can visit my website at weathertogether.us

Thank you SO much for your help! This looks like an awesome plugin, I am excited to use it.

For me a file is broken down or you copied the files and now the files has the wrong permissions.

Can you download the widget with WordPress under Plugins > Add New > type in the "Search Plugin" text box: Category Post Widget > Install Now > activate

If it doesn't help please tell us which WordPress version do you use.

I have this same problem. Here is the full error I'm seeing:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in ...../public_html/wp-content/plugins/category-posts/cat-posts.php on line 11

WP version 4.5.3

At the moment we can't reproduce the bug. So please help us to find it.

Where do you download the widget: On WordPress.org as file, in our WordPress installation or on GitHub?

Do you make a update from a older version?

You have do this:
Can you download the widget with WordPress under Plugins > Add New > type in the "Search Plugin" text box: Category Post Widget > Install Now > activate

Everything is good now. I noticed in one of your other Idea on another thread that php version 5.2 is no longer supported by you, so I had bluehost upgrade me to 5.4. It works now. Thanks!

Much thanks for your feedback.
