Advanced: Page load speed, plugin organizer, BuddyPress for LearnDash trouble

[Michael]

I am trying to optimize the delivery of site content even further using Plugin Organizer. Unfortunately BuddyPress for LearnDash 1.0.7 is causing trouble:

Fatal error: Class 'BuddyPress_Learndash_Loader' not found in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-learndash/buddypress-learndash.php on line 143

I want to define the load order of individual plugins to see if I can knock off a few 100 ms. The site is now down to about 2 sec load time and 16 http requests. It is mainly of interest to mobile users now since I want to reduce the size of the above-the-fold content. 🙂

Let me know what you think. To me the logical plugin load order should be something like:
1. Plugin Organizer
2. BuddyPress
3. LearnDash LMS
4. Boss for LearnDash
5. BuddyPress for LearnDash

Are there any other plugin requirements for BuddyPress for LearnDash?

Best regards,
Michael

Having a look at the code now:

/**
 * Must be called after hook 'plugins_loaded'
 * @return BuddyPress for LearnDash Plugin main controller object
 */
function buddypress_learndash()
{
  global $BUDDYPRESS_LEARNDASH, $bp;
  
  if ( $bp ) {
	$BUDDYPRESS_LEARNDASH->bp_learndash_loader = BuddyPress_Learndash_Loader::instance();
  }
  
  if ( $bp && bp_is_active('groups') ) {
	 $BUDDYPRESS_LEARNDASH->bp_learndash_groups = BuddyPress_Learndash_Groups::instance();
  }

  return $BUDDYPRESS_LEARNDASH;
}

I am wondering. Should BuddyPress for LearnDash be the last plugin to be loaded or?

Hi @mln83
BuddyPress for LearnDash should be loaded last.

Hi @vapvarun,

Thanks. I tried that but BuddyPress for LearnDash always seems to cause a fatal error when changing the plugin load order.

I have also asked the guys who created Plugin Organizer: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/load-order-always-trouble-with-one-plugin?replies=1. I’ll see what they have to say. Perhaps they have further insight into this 🙂

Best regards,
Michael
