    When I trying to activate the plugin I’m getting this:
    ——-
    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘, expecting ‘)’ in /…SKIP…/wp-content/plugins/plugin-grouper/autoload.php on line 25
    ——-
    ??
    All other plugins are deactivated.

    Just updated plugin to new version 3.0.2.

    Things became slightly different though still with no luck. =(

    Seem like the culprit is a pretty old PHP on my hosting which doesn’t support the short syntax for arrays.

    The problem is that I hardly can enforce my hoster to upgrade PHP in the near future. And there is fact that I have over 30 plugins on my WP and they don’t suffer from that error. So I hope there can be an update for the plugin to make it work on old PHPs. =)

    Well… =)
    I changed
    $plugins_ =[];
    to old fashioned
    $plugins_ = array();
    in that line 295 and it began to work! ??

    Update to version 3.0.3 fixed the bug.
    Thank you!
