How to Fix the get_plugin() Error on AyeCode Connect Screen?

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
/**
* Plugin Name: AyeCode Connect - Early get_plugins filter
* Plugin URI: https://ayecode.io/ 
* Description: Fix the issue where another plugin is calling get_plugins() too early which disables future filters.
* Version: 1.0.0
* Author: AyeCode Ltd
* Author URI: https://ayecode.io/
* License: GPL-2.0+

* License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt
* Requires at least: 3.1
* Tested up to: 5.5
*/

/*
* Set a constant so we can check if the plugin is active. 
*/

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.
*
* @param array $headers
*
* @return array
*/

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>

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. 

The get_plugin() error will be fixed after you have successfully uploaded the said file.
