Check if WooCommerce is active
Most WooCommerce plugins do not need to run unless WooCommerce is already active. You can wrap your plugin in a check to see if WooCommerce is installed:
// Test to see if WooCommerce is active (including network activated). $plugin_path = trailingslashit( WP_PLUGIN_DIR ) . 'woocommerce/woocommerce.php'; if ( in_array( $plugin_path, wp_get_active_and_valid_plugins() ) || in_array( $plugin_path, wp_get_active_network_plugins() ) ) { // Custom code here. WooCommerce is active, however it has not // necessarily initialized (when that is important, consider // using the `woocommerce_init` action). }
Note that this check will fail if the WC plugin folder is named anything other than woocommerce
