GoDaddy has confirmed that PHP 5.3 or higher is running on the server, so it's not that.
When I attempt to activate version 6.2.2 of the plugin on WordPress 4.7.4 I get the following error message:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/content/42/8041042/html/wp-content/plugins/layersliderwp/layerslider.php on line 109
GoDaddy Managed Services Team has had looked at the issue and provided the following response. Can I download version 6.3.0 of the plugin somewhere to give them, or do you have other suggestions on correcting the problem? LayerSlider came bundled with my Sterling WordPress theme:
"We have replaced your current LayerSlider with the one that you uploaded via FTP but the issue persists.
See screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/fydEeP0S8O
There's an update available for LayerSlider. You are currently using version 6.2.2, the latest is 6.3.0. Updating it might fix the issue.
