Is it save to require plugin.php early to be able to use get_plugin_data() earlier?
At first glance it works and I cannot see any implications but maybe you are aware of some? You say that you are not getting errors, which I would have expected but it looks as though WordPress uses require_once() so you are probably safe: 39 /** WordPress Plugin Administration API */ 40 require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/plugin.php’); … Read more
