 * Hello,
 * I’m developing a woocommerce (WC) theme and need to do some modifications for
   the upcoming version 2.3. As I’m selling the theme I don’t know which version
   of WC my customers are using but I need to know because I must apply the changes
   for the 2.3+ version only.
 * I’ve found the get_plugin_data() function to determine the plugin version but
   unfortunately it’s working in the backend only. Even when I include the wp-admin/
   includes/plugin.php in the frontend it’s not working.
 * Are there any other ways I didn’t thought of so far?
 * Thanks!
    CI
