In the ninth lesson of the advanced WordPress plugin development course we will see some tricks and possibilities when creating a plugin with another plugin.
We are going to discover and install two very interesting plugins, one to create the basic file and folder structure of a plugin and another to create a plugin that allows us to override the functions.php file of our active template. Ideal for adding functionality.
In addition, in this lesson, we are also going to look at a plugin boilerplate, which contains everything you need to start building your plugin professionally. It includes all the structure, configuration and files generated to work on the plugin. Let’s go mess!
It is that easy to create a plugin template! As you can see, these three plugins are wonderful tools for building and getting started with our own plugins.
Also, the good thing is that they are prepared to work with object-oriented programming and that gives it a more interesting touch since the loading, activation and deactivation structure is created. Everything to make our lives easier when starting with our plugins.
As a proposed task, what do you think if you update the plugin that we have developed in this course with the Boilerplate? It is a good way to take advantage of all the basic classes and structure that they propose and adapt the plugin to have a more robust version with object-oriented programming.
As always, if you have any questions, you can send them through the support form on the subscriber intranet. See you in the next lesson! 🙂
