 * 24 hours after installing and configuring Feed Them Social the whole site is 
   offline with the following error:
 * Fatal error: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement
   in the script in /home/toastaff/public_html/home/wp-content/plugins/feed-them-
   social/admin/feed-them-system-info.php on line 2
 * I haven’t edited this php file, it’s a php file within the Feed Them Social plugin,
   so I surmise that something went wrong with the plugin as I can’t imagine any
   other part of WordPress changing the php file of a plugin.
 * Any takers?
 * Apologies if this is something obvious / covered previously.

 * This is a very strange error and a first at that.
 * Not sure how this would relate but are you using a facebook feed… and do you 
   have the app token in place on the Facebook Options page of our plugin?
 * If so can you please submit the report from our System Info page of our plugin.

 * Howdy
 * I ended up renaming the plugins folder on the server in order to get WordPress
   to respond and then re-installed the plugins one by one on a case by case basis(
   i.e. was there a bit of the website not working because of a missing plugin) 
   and everything is now fine. So either it was a one off issue or a conflict with
   a plugin that didn’t get reinstalled.
 * Now got FB, Twitter and Instagram feed working using your plugin. All good!

 * Interesting, sounds like on the initial install not all the files were added 
   properly. Glad you got it sorted! Thanks for using our plugin.
