Parse error

Each time I activate the shapely-companion plugin I get the following parse error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[’ in /home/marc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/shapely-companion/inc/widgets/widget-home-clients.php on line 84

I have tried reinstalling wordpress and the theme, but I still get the same error. Can anyone help me out please? Thank you.

Hey there,
I hope you’re doing well today

Firstly Delete the Shapely helper plugin.
Then please access your hosting’s file server through the admin Panel or through FTP access.
• Navigate to wp-content/plugins in the main folder directory located on your hosting’s file server.
• Rename the current plugins folder to plugins_old and create a new folder by the name of plugins.
• Reinstall the Shapely helper plugin, and try activating.

Best Regards,
Support

Thanks for your reply, I’ll give that a go.

I followed your advice and I am still getting the same error.
