 * Sometimes I and other users suddenly get the following error message on the page
   which where the shortcode is placed. Most of the time everything is working but
   then something happens.
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ssfa_debug() (previously declared in /xxxx/x/x/
   xxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/file-away/includes/file-away-debug.php:2) in /xxxx/
   x/x/xxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/file-away/includes/file-away-debug.php on line
   17
 * Have you seen this before or do you have an idea of what causes the error message?
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Do you have multiple shortcodes on the same page that have debug mode enabled
   when you get this error?

 * Thanks for quick reply 🙂
 * Yes, I have multiple shortcodes on the same page with “debug on”.
 * Should I try to remove this?

 * Well debug is just a temporary thing. You don’t want to leave it on or the files
   will never be output to the page. But I will be providing a fix for this fatal
   error in the next release. Already got it updated on my local install. Stay tuned.

 * This should be fixed in version 1.8, now released. Let me know if you still have
   problems.
