For all themes using our vip-init loader, we’ve pushed a change that will automatically load vip-helper-wpcom.php in all environments. The file contains functions to relate to specific plugins, filters, and actions that are enabled across all of WordPress.com.
This means that you no longer need a function_exists check or a custom fallback when referencing these functions.
If you run into any issues, please let us know.
