I have just updated to WP 4.4.1 and Download Manager 2.8.5 and now get the following error when trying to activate the plugin:

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

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/38/d198945351/htdocs/fox/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/download-manager.php on line 11

Any pointers on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Extremely sorry for your inconvenience. In last update we have improved code base and using namespace, which require php v5.3.0+ ( http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.rationale.php ), may you please update your server php version, however if that is not possible, you can get back the previous version from here https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/download-manager.2.8.3.zip

Thank you for the prompt and informative reply, it is very much appreciated.

I will get on to the hosting company and find out what there plans are to upgrade the PHP version. In the meantime I’ll downgrade to 2.8.3 and wait.
