Using WP_Query within an mu-plugin
I figured it out. I moved the reference to WP Alchemy within a function that fires after init. Everything now works great and I can use WP_Query within the setup files. Here’s a code reference: // WP Alchemy Setup function jd_setup_wp_alchemy() { include_once WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/jonathanwold/metaboxes/setup.php’; include_once WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/jonathanwold/metaboxes/cpt-spec.php’; } add_action(‘init’, ‘jd_setup_wp_alchemy’);
