 * FYI, PHP Compatibility Checker is reporting a warning for Easy Facebook Likebox
   as follows in relation to PHP 7.0 compatability:
 *     ```
       FILE: /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/easy-facebook-likebox/freemius/includes/fs-essential-functions.php
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       FOUND 0 ERRORS AND 1 WARNING AFFECTING 1 LINE
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        147 | WARNING | Function name "__fs" is discouraged; PHP has reserved all method names with a double underscore prefix for future use
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       ```
   
 * As it was only a warning I went ahead and upgraded to PHP 7.0 but the widget 
   now fails to display at all on the front-end. Have replaced with another plugin
   but any ideas how I can get yours to work again as it appears to have less overhead
   than others?
 * Thanks.

 * From my understanding, a simple change of a function name “__fs” to, for example“
   _efl_fs” would work. Error message says it all: “PHP has **reserved** all method
   names **with a double underscore prefix** for future use”
 * Lets hope the author will make this small change soon.
