   I'm the author of a plugin (wp-youtube-lyte) which seems to work on the majority of installations.

   There are however a few instances where a "Call to undefined function add_action() in options.php on line 2" is generated. Indeed, options.php opens with;

   <?php
   add_action('admin_menu', 'lyte_create_menu');
   function lyte_create_menu() {
   ...

   Is there anything wrong with the code? Is there any way to work around this error? Or is this due to (mis-)configuration of the blog instance and so entirely out of my hands?

   That's usually what happens when the file is queried directly, and not loaded via WordPress, ie..

   The page was requested like this..

   example.com/wp-content/plugins/YOUR_PLUGIN/options.php

   and not..

   example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?YOUR_PLUGIN/options.php
   or
   example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?options.php

   Depending on what your plugin page URL looks like, it may differ to the two above, but should illustrate the point nonetheless.

   Simple if( !function_exists( 'some_wordpress_function' ) ) die('Direct request message to show.'); should fix that for you ..

   thanks mark, i understand now. guess putting an empty index.html in place will prevent google & others to see directory contents (for those instances where webservers are not configured to disallow directory listing), so they won't try to index the standalone options.php any more.
