 * Just installed the plugin. At first it showed the FA shortcode generator in the
   page editor windoww, but now FA icon is gone. I deactivated / reactivated, deleted/
   re-installed the plugin but NOTHING…
 * Any suggestions?

 * You try changing the button position on the File Away settings page under the
   options tab?

 * Thanks for the prompt response…
 * The button is still in its default position on the second line. But when I checked
   the options tab, I noticed that I had changed the Modal Access setting. Once 
   I reset it, it was back to normal. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
   Still trying to sort out how the plugin works.
 * But I am stumped by not being able to properly display a simple file list using
   the settings [fileaway flightbox=”pdfs”]. It works fine on my test environment,
   but on our production system it shows a native HTML file list with links.
 * Is this a Theme issue conflicting with the styling?

 * I would have to be able to take a look at it to say what might be your issue.

 * Our site is currently being used by our club for uploading images for an upcoming
   competition. Deadline is Tuesday and I don’t want to make any changes till the
   deadline is passed.
 * I will change it to the 2015 WordPress Theme after that date and see if the Fileaway
   page displays properly. I suspect our Headway Theme is not playing nice. Will
   let you know what I find…

 * Mystery solved. No conflicts were found. I had created a directory with the same
   name as the page name, so when trying to load the page, I was instead getting
   a directory listing. Since that was what I was trying to do with Fileaway, I 
   thought the formatting was not working. I changed the page name and everything
   works as it should.
 * I now need to figure out why directory listing has been re-enabled. I had previously
   disabled it.
 * Plugin works great!

 * Yup. That would do it. I’ve come across that issue before. Good job finding it.
