 * Hello –
 * On a few sites that we’ve updated to v0.3, the plugin is deactivating itself 
   and producing this error message:
 * `caldera-forms-anti-spam/caldera-forms-anti-spam.php has been deactivated due
   to an error: Plugin file does not exist.`
 * A page refresh and reactivating the plugin then works.
 * Thought it was worth mentioning.
 * Thanks
