    As mentioned in the title, after updating the plugin to version 3.8.8, I can’t view the site while still logged in as admin.

    The debug.log shows the following error:

    [29-Dec-2023 18:18:01 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function is_plugin_active() in /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/companion-auto-update/cau_functions.php:65

    According to the official WP docs, this isn’t even surprising:
    https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/is_plugin_active_for_network/#more-information

    The function just is not defined outside of admin areas, as the necessary include is only done automatically for admin areas.

    I have the same issue, though not on all of my WordPress websites/themes. I’m not sure why some websites have this error and others don’t. It might be related to older themes?

    Hi @asteaguinity and @sicco this should now be fixed in version 3.8.9

    Hi @papin, thanks for looking into this and creating a fix!

    I just installed 3.8.9, but the problem seems to still exist when I visit some of my websites when I’m logged in (I also cleared cache):

    Is there anything I can do for you to help track down the problem?

    Seems it didn’t actually push the fix, should work in version 3.8.9.1 ??

    3.8.9.1 fixes the problem! Thanks @papin!
