 * Hello again… I have encountered another issue with the plugin. I can create the
   installer.php and the zipped package but when I go to install it, I get the following
   error:
 *  Notice: ob_clean(): failed to delete buffer. No buffer to delete in /Users/flo/
   Sites/embracingflow_local/wp-snapshots/50e73cf05caa23009_20130104_embracingflow_installer.
   php on line 35
 * Please help!
