At times, you might encounter an error of this nature on the AyeCode Connect screen:
Another plugin is calling the get_plugins() function too early which may block updates. We can try to fix this by calling our filter first with a must use plugin.
This happens when the get_plugins() method is being called by another plugin too early. To fix this, you need to copy the code given below and paste it in a blank file:
<?php
/**

define("AYECODE_CONNECT_GET_PLUGINS_FILTER_FIX",true);
/**
* If another plugin calls get_plugins() too early then some filters will not work, this adds our filter early.

function ayecode_connect_early_get_plugins_filter_fix( $headers = array() ) {
$headers_extra = array(
'UpdateURL' => 'Update URL',
'UpdateID' => 'Update ID',
);
$all_headers = array_merge( $headers_extra, (array) $headers );
return $all_headers;
}
add_filter( 'extra_plugin_headers', 'ayecode_connect_early_get_plugins_filter_fix' );<br>
PHP
Thereafter, save the file as ayecode-connect-filter-fix.php and then upload it to /wp-content/mu-plugins using your host’s SFTP tool or via the cPanel File Manager.
You can use any text editor, including NotePad to create the above file. Remember to save it with the .php extension. Furthermore, for instructions on how to upload a file, you should check with your web hosting provider.
The get_plugin() error will be fixed after you have successfully uploaded the said file.
