       require_once(__DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php');
   }
   new Wolfiesites\YamlToWp(__DIR__ .'/config.yaml');

if (!class_exists('ComposerAutoloaderInit228a8406a34a58cdfa0baa1563d5478e')) {
  require_once(__DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php');
}
$plugin_prefix_y2wp = new Wolfiesites\YamlToWp(__DIR__ .'/config.yaml');
$plugin_prefix_y2wp->add_config(__DIR__.'/another.yaml');
