These changes prevent activation of the plugin on unsupported versions of WP, PHP.

There is now the small risk a site will have an active plugin and update to a version it no longer supports. How have we handled that in the past?

So I was trying to find a version of this in our plugins and couldn't quite remember where it's at but what we've done in the past is have some code in the main plugin file (so this file in this case) that checks if our requirements are met and if not, output an admin notice and stop execution of the plugin. Not our plugin but here's a similar approach in a Woo plugin: https://github.com/woocommerce/google-listings-and-ads/blob/develop/google-listings-and-ads.php#L41 and https://github.com/woocommerce/google-listings-and-ads/blob/develop/src/Internal/Requirements/VersionValidator.php#L22

In 6187c56 I've added a first pass at showing a notice if the plugin fails to meet minimum version requirements.

Honestly, it seems like a lot for something that ought to be quite minor but I am not sure if there is much that can be done about that. For this to work, the plugin's main file will always need to be compatible with earlier versions of WP/PHP. The up-to-date code will need to come later.

Should I move some of the bootstrapping code so distributor.php can focus on activation & a bootstrapper can focus on bootstrapping?

-			$post = isset( $_GET['post'] ) ? get_post( (int) $_GET['post'] ) : false; // @codingStandardsIgnoreLine Nonce not required
-
-			if ( $post && ! \Distributor\Utils\is_using_gutenberg( $post ) ) {
-				add_action( 'do_meta_boxes', __NAMESPACE__ . '\replace_revisions_meta_box', 10, 3 );
-				add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', __NAMESPACE__ . '\add_revisions_meta_box' );
-			}
+			add_action( 'do_meta_boxes', __NAMESPACE__ . '\replace_revisions_meta_box', 10, 3 );
+			add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', __NAMESPACE__ . '\add_revisions_meta_box' );


The is_using_gutenberg() function call is moved to the do_meta_boxes hook where it is used. This ensures all the editor functions are defined before attempting to use them. Specifically, in this instance, use_block_editor_for_post_type().

Expand explanation of internal helper to document why it exists.

…ype` is defined.

Instead of reproducing the function (including the final filter) call the function if it exists. Otherwise go through the polyfill steps.

Thanks a lot for the great work here @peterwilsoncc, Code looks good to me just want you to check on the notes below.

I am getting 404 for admin.min.css
I think we should also add minimum requirements in the plugin header of the plugin’s main PHP file as well. Since WordPress 5.8 plugin readme files are not parsed for requirements. This means that headers Requires PHP and Requires at least are going to be parsed from plugin’s main PHP file.

Thanks

@iamdharmesh I've added the requirements to the main plugin file in c1c93fb

You'll need to run npm i; npm run build in your command line for the css files to be generated.

Yes, I am already doing this, but it seems the URL to load CSS file is wrong. it is .../distributor/includes/dist/css/... instead of .../distributor/dist/css/....

Thanks
