 * Hi, are you sure you are on PHP 7.0? This was a known issue for PHP 5.*

 * Double checked my local sever and I’m definitely running PHP 7 via MAMP. Went
   ahead and restarted the server and tried again. Still receiving the following
   error:
 * Fatal error: Cannot use BracketSpace\Notification\Core\Notification as Notification
   because the name is already in use in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wh/wp-content/
   plugins/notification/class/Abstracts/Trigger.php on line 14

 * Hi, I had the same error with PHP 7.0.3. Updating PHP to 7.3.2 fixed the issue.
 * Cheers,
    Olivier
