I moved any methods to mu-plugins and removed the local copies in any single custom plugin directory( avoided duplication) - This reply was modified 3 weeks, 3 days ago by [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Logger] Execution time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/execution-time-3/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [3 weeks, 3 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/execution-time-3/#post-18857442) * [@igortron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igortron/) Interesting solution, thanks 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Logger] Execution time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/execution-time-3/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [3 weeks, 3 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/execution-time-3/#post-18857011) * [@igortron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igortron/) ok, but I’m not sure this covers all the possible scenarios (that is maybe my plugin under some circumstances fires before all the plugins are loaded) * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Plugin of utils being called from other plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-of-utils-being-called-from-other-plugins/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-of-utils-being-called-from-other-plugins/#post-18844830) * [@ryanmax22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanmax22/) checking for the existence of a method or class is partially useful: as I told before, if you do that, then you need to cover the case when the class is not available (this means other code and complexity). Anyway, in my particular scenario (so NOT universally speaking) the mu-plugins idea is just perfect 🙂 * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Plugin of utils being called from other plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-of-utils-being-called-from-other-plugins/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-of-utils-being-called-from-other-plugins/#post-18844730) * [@catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * No: any custom plugin needs this plugin that contains common functionalities. * As explained by another user, requiring (plugin dependencies) is not effective. * I solved by using the mu-plugins directory that loads before the plugins are loaded: there I put traits and static methods any plugin in any namespace can easily and safely use. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Plugin of utils being called from other plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-of-utils-being-called-from-other-plugins/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-of-utils-being-called-from-other-plugins/#post-18840426) * [@alessandro12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alessandro12/) That’s absolutely fine, but at that point you need a clear strategy: what happens if the plugin isn’t active? I feel that this would end up overcomplicating something that should be much simpler (at least, in my scenario). Anyway, even if I could create a sort of “master plugin”, I ended up moving my static methods to a custom mu-plugins directory * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Plugin of utils being called from other plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-of-utils-being-called-from-other-plugins/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-of-utils-being-called-from-other-plugins/#post-18840311) * [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/) ok, thanks. In my specific case, method calls come way after the plugins are loaded, so it could be safe to use any class. Another option would be the mu-plugins directory but I red sometimes it gets attacked. * I don’t know who removed the AI generated answer but it was a good thing to do it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SMTP for Contact Form 7] CF7 stats in the Subscribers’ profile dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-stats-in-the-subscribers-profile-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [1 month, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-stats-in-the-subscribers-profile-dashboard/page/2/#post-18832155) * Hi [@codekraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codekraft/) , I am very pleased with all the changes you have made to the plugin, but unfortunately, I am unable to assist you personally at this time. 🙁 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SMTP for Contact Form 7] CF7 stats in the Subscribers’ profile dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-stats-in-the-subscribers-profile-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-stats-in-the-subscribers-profile-dashboard/#post-18818451) * [@codekraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codekraft/) I mentioned it since we’ve been talking so casually, almost like we were chatting.

I only have two users, ad admin and a subscriber. * If I login as a Subscriber, I regularly see the “Stats for CF7 SMTP” widget in the dashboard. If I replace your code with mine, it works as expected (that is: only the admin dashboard “features” the widget) 🙂 - This reply was modified 2 months ago by [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SMTP for Contact Form 7] CF7 stats in the Subscribers’ profile dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-stats-in-the-subscribers-profile-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [islp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islp/) * (@islp) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-stats-in-the-subscribers-profile-dashboard/#post-18818066) * I currently use Wp-members and User role editor but Subscribers is a standard role, so I’m not sure there’s any relationship.
