PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class

    Just wanted to give a heads up about some errors that cripple a site immediately upon plugin activation.

    I was able to resolve it by wrapping every class in every file with a check wrapper like this:

    if (!class_exists('CLASSNAME')) {
     // original class code for CLASSNAME
}

    I eventually just put each class in that check wrapper because when I fixed the first redeclare error, another popped up, fixed that one, another popped up, and then I just wrapped them all. Problem solved.

    PLUGIN USERS:
    You will have to edit the path in rename_me_to_.htaccess file to suit your ABSPATH to the .htpassword_geneated file.

    @andreacomo (PLUGIN AUTHOR):
    I have a modified util.php file that generates the .htacess file with the proper ABSPATH instead of using the seeder file. I can send it your way if you want to release it with a future update.
