How to modify 'Install Required Plugins' functionality?

[FlawlessWeb]

Hi Ed,

No, unfortunately that line of code breaks the site.

Is the conclusion that I would need to edit the plugin-includes.php file in the main Cardinal folder each time (there is a theme update) and there is definitely nothing that can be done within the child theme?.

Thanks.

Hi,

After putting this include_once(get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/includes/plugin-includes.php’); in the functions.php of parent theme or child theme. Did you have this folder structure in the Child theme?? Did this file present in the child theme?? Enable the WP_DEBUG and could you pass us what error it says??

Let us know,

Thanks,
laranz.

Got it to work 🙂

I turned on wp debug as you directed and from that it indicated that I needed to include the following file in my child themes includes folder as well: class-tgm-plugin-activation.php

So for anyone else looking to do the same.

#1. Edit Cardinals functions.php file as follows on line 40:

	/* include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/plugin-includes.php'); */
	include_once(get_stylesheet_directory() . '/includes/plugin-includes.php');

#2. Create an includes folder within your child theme and copy both these files into it:
plugin-includes.php
class-tgm-plugin-activation.php

#3. Edit those files as desired.

So, considering what I have set up now, can you confirm that the only file I will need to continuously manually edit on theme updates is the functions.php file as out I laid out above? (there is definitely no way around this?)

Thanks.

Hi,

Glad you sort it out. Yes it the only way.

since recent updates here is a modified version for #1

add_filter( 'get_user_metadata', function_disableNotice, 10, 4 );
function function_disableNotice ($val, $object_id, $meta_key, $single) {
    if($meta_key === 'tgmpa_dismissed_notice_tgmpa') { return true; }
    else { return null; }
}
