 * Hello folks,
 * I found a whole bunch of errors in my error.log that I couldn’t figure out. So
   I asked ChatGPT, who explained everything to me – and I didn’t understand anything
   about it, or rather I didn’t want to fiddle around in the plugin’s source code.
 * So I asked the AI to create a support request for me. …
 * Hi,
 * I’m experiencing multiple PHP warnings when using the **Insert PHP Code Snippet**
   plugin. These warnings seem to originate from the plugin’s `shortcode-handler.
   php` file. Here’s a snippet of the error log for reference:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       PHP Warning: Undefined variable $_debugging in /path/to/insert-php-code-snippet/shortcode-handler.php on line [various lines]  
       ```
   
 * The warnings occur on many lines where the variable `$_debugging` is used without
   being defined. I suspect that the variable might be missing a proper initialization,
   or there might be an issue with how it’s being referenced.
 * **Details of my setup:**
    - WordPress version: 6.7
    - Plugin version: 1.3.7
    - PHP version: 8.2.5
    - Hosting: Alfahosting
 * These warnings are filling up my server logs and might potentially impact the
   site’s performance. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue? Is 
   there an update planned to address this, or is there a workaround I can apply
   in the meantime?
 * Thank you for your help!
 * Best regards,
   Michael

 * Hi Michael,
   There isn’t a variable named $_debugging in the Insert PHP Code Snippet
   plugin’s source code. The issue is likely originating from the custom snippet
   code you’ve added.
 * Please review your snippet to check for any references to $_debugging, as it 
   seems to be causing the warnings. Correcting or removing this undefined variable
   from your code should resolve the issue. Let me know if you need further assistance!
