@Cyclonecode I've tested the code in my answer and it works, if yours is the same, I don't see why yours doesn't. The error clearly states class 'MyPluginAdmin' not found. If you're sure the include is correct, then the only other things I can think of is a typo in class name or incorrect permissions. I'm sure if you create a function in MyPluginAdmin and call it from the main class, you will get an error. The MyPLuginAdmin is not included.

The path is absolutely correct, since it is the same path used for including the actual file. The above is just an example, shouldn't matter if it is in a sub folder as long as the path is correct. I updated the question to match the actual structure of my plugin files. | |

@Cyclonecode No, MyPluginAdmin::activate is not run in the second version. You can test this by just putting an echo in the activate function (activation hooks aren't allowed to output). The first example fails to activate with a The plugin generated x characters of unexpected output during activation. whereas the second activates as the function is not run. Are you including the directory in the include ie. include_once(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'admin/my-plugin-admin.php'); , because you haven't in your example code.

The MyPluginAdmin::activate method are run in both cases? The real plugin has its admin file located in a subfolder i.e admin/my-plugin-admin.php. Very strange that only the second version works without throwing a warning?

@Cyclonecode your second version activates the plugin, but the activation function isn't run. The $file parameter is definitely incorrect, you end up with something like my-plugin.php/my-plugin-admin.php. Are both of the files in the same directory?
