 * Hi there – getting some intermittent fetal errors since we updated to the latest
   version today (or at least we hadn’t noticed them before and I don’t see any 
   previous log messages from it). We’ve had about 4 in 11 hours since the update.
 * `[Thu Apr 23 03:59:41 2015] [error] [client ###.###.###.###] PHP Fatal error:
   Maximum execution time of 3600 seconds exceeded in /.../wp-content/plugins/feed-
   them-social/includes/feed-them-functions.php on line 1384`
 * Clearing cache everywhere, etc, to make sure that’s not the issue, but wanted
   to post and see if it might be an unknown bug cuasing it, etc.
 * Please advise,

 * Another question, did you get that error from your error.log file and also is
   the plugin being automatically deactivated when this happens?

 * Thanks for responding,
 * We were not using our own FB API token. We are as of a few seconds ago.
 * I was pulling the error from the error log file, yes.
 * And no, the plugin was not automatically deactivating when those errors occurred.

 * Thanks for the info… so was the site showing a fatal error too or just the log.
   Just curious if the plugin was still working ok when these errors popped up.
