I'm too early

[szepeviktor]

Simple-History loads after the theme: https://github.com/bonny/WordPress-Simple-History/blob/e7ced9a24d338a3771a2a1b2272fd83898118ece/inc/SimpleHistory.php#L91

I call if ( function_exists( 'SimpleLogger' ) ) {SimpleLogger()->log();} at plugins_loaded, and have a Fatal: PHP Fatal error: Class 'SimpleLogger' not found in */wp-content/plugins/simple-history/inc/SimpleHistory.php on line 2851

https://github.com/szepeviktor/wordpress-fail2ban/blob/master/mu-plugin/wp-fail2ban-mu-instant.php#L201-L212

Please advise.

@bonny Could you help me? Even a work-around would help. This is a handmade WAF of mine, it's a MU plugin.

Sorry for not getting back sooner... I have had similar problems myself when I wanted to log things that happened early in other plugins. I do init the loggers late because I wanted everything to be possible to filter in a themes functions.php-file.

I need to think about this for a bit I'm afraid.

Cloud I initialize Simple History in my own (early) muplugin?

It seem like working:

// Send to Simple History
if ( function_exists( 'SimpleLogger' ) ) {
    $simple_level = $this->translate_apache_level( $level );
    $context = array(
        '_security' => "WordPress fail2ban",
        '_server_request_method' => $this->esc_log( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] )
    );
    if ( array_key_exists( 'HTTP_USER_AGENT', $_SERVER ) ) {
        $context['_server_http_user_agent'] = $this->esc_log( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] );
    }
// HERE is the actual work-around
    if ( ! class_exists( 'SimpleLogger' ) ) {
        SimpleHistory::get_instance()->load_loggers();
    }
    SimpleLogger()->log( $simple_level, $error_msg, $context );
}
