plugin: ‘init’ hook, check if we’re not in admin

init is too early for conditional tags to work. It marks when core finished loading, but no environment is set up yet.

For admin area only you can hook into admin_init.

For conditionals on front end earliest hook you can reliable use is template_redirect.
