is_plugin_active_for_network( string $plugin ): bool

Determines whether the plugin is active for the entire network.

Description

Only plugins installed in the plugins/ folder can be active.

Plugins in the mu-plugins/ folder can’t be "activated," so this function will return false for those plugins.

Parameters

$pluginstringrequired
Path to the plugin file relative to the plugins directory.

Return

bool True if active for the network, otherwise false.
