 For whatever reason, direct requests are being made to the "/wp-
 admin/includes/admin-filters.php" file, which does not start with a exit()
 if ABSPATH is not defined, causing a fatal error on the first function
 called, add_action(). I would like to suggest adding the typical
 "if(!defined('ABSPATH')) exit;" to prevent these fatal errors. Although I
 understand this doesn't actually affect the functionality of WordPress,
 I'm still classifying as an "enhancement" as it will improve the
 accuracy/clarity of the error log which was getting populated with these
 fatal errors.
