[wp-hackers] prevent theme's functions.php from loading in wp-settings

[Nicholas Ciske]

Tried define( 'SHORTINIT', true ); ? That keeps wp-settings.php from loading in the first place.

What if you define 'WP_INSTALLING' to something? That would seem to preclude the loading of functions.php -- but feels hacky.

Or perhaps you need to reframe the problem and just use a WP Ajax handler instead?
