 * Hi there.. know you love gettting these 🙁 so sorry I gotta tell you this and
   add to the workload.
 * Just did an update to plugin and got a:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function cconover\FeaturedImageCaption\add_meta_box()
   in C:\Users\Sunni\Documents\Websites\www.southview.dev\wp-content\plugins\featured-
   image-caption\classes\MetaBox.php on line 22
 * ** I can *only* get the fatal warning right now — cannot log out
    ** When I go
   to dev site (local) I get: Warning: Missing argument 1 for cconover\FeaturedImageCaption\
   Shortcode::shortcode(), called in C:\Users\Sunni\Documents\Websites\www.southview.
   dev\wp-content\plugins\featured-image-caption\classes\Hooks.php on line 96 and
   defined in C:\Users\Sunni\Documents\Websites\www.southview.dev\wp-content\plugins\
   featured-image-caption\classes\Shortcode.php on line 18
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined method cconover\FeaturedImageCaption\Shortcode::
   caption_data() in C:\Users\Sunni\Documents\Websites\www.southview.dev\wp-content\
   plugins\featured-image-caption\classes\Shortcode.php on line 33
 * I went into phpmyadmin and ran check. no errors. ran repair anyway but of course..
   no errors/no fix
 * I was going to go into the dir and remove the plugin manually but wanted to check
   with you before doing so. Any other dependencies or is a simple removal of the
   file safe to do?
 * If not, other suggestions?

 * I went ahead and renamed the plug-in’s folder and that resulted in my regaining
   access to admin.
 * Will try to re-install tomorrow but not sure of cause of the crash. Any clues?

 * Thanks for the report! Of course I’d certainly rather not hear that things aren’t
   working properly, but when there’s an issue I’m glad to know about it.
 * That first error you got is a little baffling as `add_meta_box()` is a native
   WordPress function, so I’m not sure why it’s saying it’s undefined. I’ll do some
   further testing to see if I can track down why it’s saying that.
 * As far as the errors related to the shortcode, I think I’ve found the bugs causing
   those so I should have them patched with a new release today or tomorrow.

 * Version 0.8.0 fixes the shortcode errors you were seeing. Please update the plugin
   to the latest version and see if it is fixed for you.

 * Hi Christian —
 * Steps I took:
    1. deleted plug-in folder that I had renamed 2. refreshed screens—
   all worked fine 3. reinstalled latest version of plug-in and activated
 * Got this error again: Fatal error: Call to undefined function cconover\FeaturedImageCaption\
   add_meta_box() in C:\Users\Sunni\Documents\Websites\www.southview.dev\wp-content\
   plugins\featured-image-caption\classes\MetaBox.php on line 22
 * Checked db again. Alls well there.
 * I’m running featured video Plus. It fusses with featured image. Wonder? They 
   were playing nicely together but perhaps an update created the conflict.. just
   brainstorming..
 * what can I do to help you debug?
