After the solution to this question was to get a function to launch BEFORE the init
action is fired by taking the sequence out of its function, it got me thinking, is there any earlier in the WP load sequence that I can hook a function into?
muplugins_loaded
is the earliest hook.
Depending on your wordpress setup, you may not have any plugins in the
MU_PLUGINS
directory. In that case this hook may not fire.
The next best hook to trigger is plugins_loaded
.
