I am getting this error when I try to activate on Bluehost.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ')' in /wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.constructor.php on line 1497

I don't want a refund yet, but am thinking about it. What is the refund policy? I don't want to pay for a plugin that doesn't work on the most popular wordpress host.

Can you help get this working on my site? Or refund.

Thank you.

Yes, it is 5.6

Uploading now please stand by

The plugin will not load by ftp. It loads the first css sheet and then stops.

Hold on, I am seeing that not all files are uplaoding to the ftp. I am having to add them all manually. Very weird. Have never seen this before in all my years web deving. I will respond once the full package is uploaded.

Ok, uploaded the full package but it still doesnt work. Same error

Uploading it again.

Its back uploaded. Still wont activate. Crazy.

Please refund. I am headed for a review and report to Codecanyon.

Me, too!

That login is not active any longer. I did a full reinstall of Wordpress on Bluehost, just with the vanilla install. Added wpDataTabbles. It still will not activate.

Do you need another login?

It wouldnt even work on the basic install at Bluehost. Have you tested it there?

Do you need me to set up another login for you? After many hours of no response, I moved on to a clean install. I am looking for a different plugin to replace yours since it doesn't work. How do refunds work?

Setting up a new one for you now. Please stand by.

Got the plugin to activate finally, which is weird. However, it still does not work. Here is the output on a page:

Ok! I am totally confused! Do you have any tips on how you were able to fix the issue? What was wrong?

I will test it for a few hours and let you know if I have any issues. If I reinstall the server from scratch, is there anything different i need to do, or can I just install as usual (if I need a clean install)?

What exactly was needed to make it work?

Ok, so if I need to do a clean install, first install Wordpress, then install wpDataTables, and add the line of code below to the plugin to make it work?

Sorry to be so needy, but after wrestling with this for so many hours and days I am wiped out! LOL

Is this something that can be added as an update? Wondering if I use this fix, if I will need to always do it in the future, or if I update.

Ok, I will work with it for awhile and report issues. Yes I am not near your time zone. Thank you for the support and for sticking with it. I will keep trying it before moving to Tablepress (which seems to work well but is missing many of your features).

No refund needed. I will also post a positive response to my comment on CodeCanyon.

Thanks again. Please close for now.
