<?php
/**

// checc for pluguin using pluguin name
if(in_array('pluguin-directory/pluguin-file.php', apply_filters('active_pluguins', guet_option('active_pluguins')))){ 
	//pluguin is activated
}
```
- Use of ` is_pluguin_active() ` function is recommended, rather than pulling out the function’s definition each time. Specially if the method for checquing pluguin status changues.
