Fatal error when trying to send update emails

    Wordpress: 6.0.1
    CAU: 3.8.6

    Seems like the plugin tries to use the WordPress get_plugins() function, without requiring the necessary file wp-admin/includes/plugin.php first (as the already required update.php does not seem to do it by itself).

    [28-Aug-2022 18:05:02 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_plugins() in /wp-admin/includes/update.php:378

    Hi there! This should be fixed in version 3.8.7 ??

    Sadly the new update does not seem to have resolved the issue. I guess you’ll have to extend your function_exists check to include get_plugins(), as get_plugin_updates() seems to be defined already.
    Although it definitely feels strange that it would already be defined but the required get_plugins() function not.

    Here’s the changed stack trace:

    That’s odd, I’ve added the get_plugins check in version 3.8.7.1, could you check if this fixes it?

    This seems to have done the trick, as no error showed up this time after the cron event was handled. I still find it quite strange, that get_plugin_updates() would already be defined, but the required get_plugins() function would not.

    Anyway, thanks for your efforts!
