 * Hi there!
 * I had a case of a fatal error not being reported to Rollbar at all. Looking at
   the plugin source, it seems like Rollbar PHP logging is initialized only at the
   init action:
 * \add_action(‘init’, array(&$this, ‘initPhpLogging’));
 * This is a pretty big problem, because a lot of stuff tends to happen before ‘
   init’. Wouldn’t it be possible to run the whole thing on ‘plugins_loaded’ instead?
 * In addition to that, it would be great if this plugin could be used as a mu-plugin.
   This would make it possible to catch errors from other (regular) plugins. (Sentry’s
   WP plugin has that feature, for example)
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for reporting. I’ve recreated this as a GitHub issue in the repo: [https://github.com/rollbar/rollbar-php-wordpress/issues/73](https://github.com/rollbar/rollbar-php-wordpress/issues/73)
 * And looking into implementing this now.
