WordPress showing error while Theme Sniffer is activate.

I am getting an error when I open my local WordPress website while Theme Sniffer is activated!

WordPress Version: WordPress 5.2 “Jaco” Theme Sniffer: 1.0.0

Did you pull the plugin from the .org repo or from the GitHub?

Please check the installation instructions: https://github.com/WPTRT/theme-sniffer#installation---development

I installed the plugin from WordPress repo.

Thanks for reporting @naveenkharwar - at first look the namespace wasn't right for the error, but you're still arriving to this situation because of an error, something isn't configured correctly in your localhost, or something is conflicting with remote calls made via wp_remote_get(). This will hopefully let you see what the errors are in the admin notice, so you can address them in your environment. Part of the change too was not to run all the transient checks for the tags until the user goes to the admin.php?page=theme-sniffer page so we don't make that call till we need the data.

The PR above fixes the errors for the fatal you're getting, but there are some additional uses of wp_remote_* functions that might need to also be tweaked too.

Can you let me know if this patch prevents fatal errors for you now? I went ahead and built a .zip off of the patch + development (ie it does have other changes that the .org version does not currently as a heads up!) branch and attached it here, if you could give it a try in your environment, that'd be much appreciated: theme-sniffer.zip

I installed the plugin from WordPress repo.

Did you built the plugin as instructed? Using npm run build and composer install?

What the error suggest to me is that the autoloader isn't created and this causes issue with loading the classes 🙂

You're safer using the .org release (unless you want to work in development ofc).

I had the same error, and the problem is in the file in a Wordpress link that redirects to the developer file for this plugin here on Github. The file provided by @timelsass works perfectly.
