    Hi Dave. I can think of two pretty easy ways to check on such a thing.

    The first one would be checking if “CMB2_LOADED” is defined. Looks like Justin recommends this one as well from his comment in the code:

    /**
  * A constant you can use to check if CMB2 is loaded
  * for your plugins/themes with CMB2 dependency
  */
 if ( ! defined( 'CMB2_LOADED' ) ) {
         define( 'CMB2_LOADED', true );
 }

    The second one would be doing a class_exists() check for “CMB2”

    Hope that helps.

    class_exists check is not recommended, because the CMB2 class is loaded much later. the best way is to use if ( defined( 'CMB2_LOADED' ) ) { /* your stuff */ }.
