 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to include a basic plugin into a theme build, working on Localhost
   I’ve simply included `require_once('path/plugin.php');` ito functions.php and
   changed all required paths within the plugin itself and it seems to work absolutely
   fine. However! I dont seem to be able to install the theme on any other wordpress
   installation – I just get a white screen for the front and backend of the wordpress
   installation.
 * Does anyone know what I’ve done wrong here?
 * Many thanks in advance for any replies!!
