Doesn't work as a "Must Use" plugin

Hey there,

Thanks for offering an alternative to the well known – but unsupported since ages – Limit Login Attempts plugin.

But yours doesn’t work as a “Must Use” plugin, like the former does.

Is it possible to add this feature? There’s lots of use cases for this, for instance, as a default plugin for hosting providers.

Marcio, thank you for bringing this up to our attention. We are working on adding “Must Use” in the next release, which will be out very soon.

Hey Marcio,

Did you try pulling all plugin contents into the mu-plugins folder, like this?:
– mu-plugins
— assets
— core
— languages
— views
— limit-login-attempts-reloaded.php
— readme.txt

It should work this way. Do you have any issues with such a setup? Please let us know.

Yes, I tried, but it didn’t work. I got this error message:

( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /app/public/wp-content/mu-plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded.php on line 35

Thanks for the fast response!

Marcio,

What PHP version are you currently running?

You just need to add a stub file in wp-content/mu-plugins in order for this to work, Marcio. Install the plugin itself in wp-content/mu-plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/ and then create a file called wp-content/mu-plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded.php containing:
```
<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name:  Limit Login Attempts Reloaded Loader
 * Plugin URI:   https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/
 * Description:  Loads LLAR
 * Version:      2.0.0
 * Author:       wpchef
 * Author URI:   http://www.wordpress.org
 * License:      GPLv2 or later
 */

require_once __DIR__ . '/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/limit-login-attempts-reloaded.php';
```
