 * Hi Tom!
 * I am having trouble setting the general options for the FA.
 * So far, the base directory is public_html/filesmanagement
    I´ve created that 
   directory and put some example files via FTP.
 * But when I use the following shortcode:
    `[fileaway base="1" ]` nothing appears
   in the page.
 * Any clues what might be wrong?
 * P.D I´m using the Dalton Theme.
    The popup of FA is always empty and doesn´t 
   paste any shortcode. (But that is another problem).
 * Thank you in advance for your support!
