 * I tried the PHP code in your guide first. It did not work, so I tried installing
   your plugin and got this error message upon activation:
 * > Fatal error: Cannot redeclare showmodule_shortcode() (previously declared in/
   > home/▓▓▓▓▓▓.cloudwaysapps.com/jjvadqnxev/public_html/wp-content/themes/La-Lique-
   > Beauty-Custom-Theme-1/functions.php:8) in /home/207934.cloudwaysapps.com/jjvadqnxev/
   > public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-divi-shortcode/simple_divi_shortcode.
   > php on line 28
 * (Note: I redacted the app id number as this is a client’s live site.)

 * Hi, if you already have my code, function name is the same inside the plugin.
   So you need to remove the SHOWMODULE function from functions.php before activating
   the plugin.
