 * Hello,
 * I have just swopped my 2 sites over to wordpress.org from.com. I have chosen 
   Hostgator as my Host.
    I have been setting up using the Storefront theme by following
   a Tutorial on You Tube. All was going well until I tried to follow the instruction
   to add a Meta Slider to go on my front page. I copied the code and added it then
   downloaded the Meta Slider plug in. When I went back to the code it had disappeared
   so I copied and pasted it again but then this message came up: Fatal error: Cannot
   redeclare child_theme_init() (previously declared in /home2/christmasden/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/storefront/functions.php:32) in /home2/christmasden/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/storefront/functions.php on line 82 Now I cannot move away 
   from this page showing the error at all. Would appreciate any help please.
 * Thanks in advance
 * Peter
