wp_installing( bool $is_installing = null )

Check or set whether ClassicPress is in “installation” mode.


Description

If the WP_INSTALLING constant is defined during the bootstrap, wp_installing() will default to true.


Parameters

$is_installing

(Optional) True to set WP into Installing mode, false to turn Installing mode off. Omit this parameter if you only want to fetch the current status.

Default value: null


Return

(bool) True if WP is installing, otherwise false. When a $is_installing is passed, the function will report whether WP was in installing mode prior to the change to $is_installing.
