Plugins not working -- frustrated

That plugin is doing a terrible practice of loading wp-load.php outside of WP on its own.

Ref: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/easy-media-gallery/trunk/includes/easyloader.php

error_reporting(0);ini_set('display_errors', 0);
$parse_uri = explode( 'wp-content', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] );
require_once( $parse_uri[0] . 'wp-load.php' );

This is so bad it should be a joke :frowning:

Unfortunately you will run into more issues running Bedrock than you would otherwise. The good news is you’ll find out right away which plugins aren’t coded properly. I can say with almost 100% certainty that if a plugin doesn’t work with Bedrock, it’s their fault.

edit: ABSPATH doesn’t work because they’re just including wp-load.php outside of WP without loading the config or anything.
