 * Hi,
 * I’m running this on my local machine and currently have no other plug-ins activated(
   I’m turning them on and off as I test my new site). I’m working on a twentythirteen
   child theme but it’s pretty basic with few changes to the original files. Other
   jquery-based plug-ins are working ok and I can activate your plug-in ok, but 
   when I try and click on Widgets Library, it is returning a syntax error:
 * > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in C:\www\furlongphoto\wp-
   > content\plugins\share-social\views\general\show_widgets.php on line 358
 * That is the closing php tag at the very end of the file. I’ve tried deleting 
   just the closing tag and also the last three lines of code but it’s as if there’s
   an extra tag added somewhere.
 * If you could offer any pointers I would be very grateful. The plug-in looks great
   and I’m keen to get this sorted.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi, sorry for the delay. Can you try to test the plugin on a web server and see
   if you get the same error? Not locally, so we can establish if your issue is 
   because of that. I do not see any issue on line 358 and it has not been reported
   so far by anybody else.
 * Waiting for your reply, best regards.

 * Hi, yes, I’m going to try this on my live site instead. I’ll keep you posted.
   Cheers.

 * Just a quick update to let you know this must have been a local issue. The plugin
   is running fine on my live website. Thanks for your quick response.
