9. mu plugins Autoloader

Our starter includes an autoloader that enables standard plugins to be required just like must-use plugins.

The autoloaded plugins are included with all mu-plugins before standard plugins have been loaded. To remove this functionality, just delete wp-content/mu-plugins/mu-autoload.php.

This enables the use of mu-plugins through Composer if their package type is wordpress-muplugin. You can also override a plugin's type like the following example:

"installer-paths": {
  "wp-content/mu-plugins/{$name}/": [
    "type:wordpress-muplugin",
    "wpackagist-plugin/some-plugin-name"
    ],
},
