Plugin Absorber

Safely load bundled WordPress plugins inside a host plugin — togglable or always-on — without re-declaration fatal errors.

Install

composer require nexcess/plugin-absorber

Use Strauss. Two or more plugins shipping different versions of this library will collide otherwise.

Do not let extra.strauss.constant_prefix rewrite a sub-plugin's plugin_loaded_constant. Those are real, shared runtime constants — the whole safety mechanism depends on the bundled copy and the standalone defining the same name. Add them to exclude_from_copy.

Requires PHP 7.4+ and WordPress 6.4+.

Usage

Added as each piece lands.
