 * I’m receiving the following error when trying to activate the plugin. Any help
   is appreciated.
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare add_admin_menu_separator() (previously declared
   in /nfs/c03/h03/mnt/168108/domains/<domain>/html/wp-content/themes/crowdpress/
   _theme_settings/theme-functions.php:430) in /nfs/c03/h03/mnt/168108/domains/<
   domain>/html/wp-content/plugins/db-toolkit/libs/functions.php on line 631

 * ah! the wonderful world of clashing function names. The only reason I would consider
   objects in php.
 * I’ll post a fix for you on that matter.

 * Yeah. Also had a function issue that prevented me from activating my theme. How
   is the fix coming along?

 * its coming on fairly well. I’m prefixing all my functions with dbt_
 * Not a perfect fix but does reduce the likelihood of a clash.
    I’ll update ASAP
   to the github branch

 * still got lots to do on it, but I’ve updated the 0.4 branch on github to fix 
   that specific problem. [https://github.com/Desertsnowman/DB-Toolkit/tree/v0.4](https://github.com/Desertsnowman/DB-Toolkit/tree/v0.4)
