I recently changed the default theme of my Personal Site, leaving the Genesis Framework behind and put on a new minimal WordPress theme called SORBET. I fell in love with it while browsing through the demo version. The idea of it being super fast got to me and I immediately customize a few things and apply it live right away. The loading result didn’t disappointed me at all, however, it couldn’t beat the speed of my previous Genesis child theme, which means there are room for improvement.

How to check a specific plugin is activated or not ?
While working on the EDD (Easy Digital Downloads) add-on of Analytify, I was looking for a way to check if the Easy Digital Downloads plugin is already activated or not. So, a message should appear to our users that “They should Activate Easy Digital Downloads to make the Analytify for EDD work properly. ”
Almost every plugin has a class name, we can use the PHP function ‘class_exists‘ to know if it exists or not. Following is the code which can be used to check a plugin is activate or not.
add_action( 'admin_notices', array(
&$this,
'analytify_edd_plugin_notices'
));
public function analytify_edd_plugin_notices() {
if( !class_exists( 'Easy_Digital_Downloads' ) )
echo "<div class="error">" . __( "Easy Digital Downloads is not active. So, Analytify for EDD Add-on will not work properly.", 'wp-analytify' )."</div>";
}
If you know any other way to achieve the same task, do let us know. Thanks.
