I know many similar questions have been asked but I have followed every guide I can find and it still is not working for me. I don't know if it has to do with it being a WordPress plugin, but the autoloader is not finding my classes.
In my plugin, I am running into a lot of Class Name collisions. I know I could prefix every class with the name of the plugin but I feel like it would be easier/cleaner to have the entire project under a specific namespace. I am still somewhat new to PHP so I may be thinking about this all wrong but I think it should work. I understand there are other ways to make this work but I would like to understand why this isn't working. Thank you for any input or help you can offer!
The error I am getting:
Fatal error: Class 'DistinguishedSites\Inc\Base\Activate' not found in /home/pluginte/public_html/wp-content/plugins/distinguished-sites/distinguished-sites-plugin.php on line 47 Simplified directory structure:
