 * Just a heads up on this. After troubleshooting an issue a customer was having
   with the new Theme Editor, I found that this Custom Contact Forms is conflicting
   with the save function. To be sure, I tested against a new WP 4.9.1 install with
   only this plugin activated. The problem popped up on that installation as well.
 * So if you see this:
 * “Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change
   was reverted. You will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means,
   such as by using SFTP.”
 * Disable the Custom Contact Forms plugin and try saving again. You can reactivate
   after that. According to the forum, this isn’t the only plugin causing the problem,
   but as it is one, this post may help save some headaches.
