WP Plugin Starter

An opinionated fork of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate.

Getting Started

• Use the WP Plugin Generator

• Create settings fields by adding to the array in the render method in admin/class-admin.php.

• Get the data from your settings fields in the render method in frontend/class-frontend.php where it says controller.

• Use that data in your default template found in frontend/partials/view.php.

• Users will have the ability to create their own template in a folder called partials/plugin-name.php in their theme. All the variables you declare in the controller will be accessible to them.

• Here is an example of how to make an AJAX call in the admin.

Without Generator

If you did not use the generator, change the following generic info:

• Namespaces in all PHP files - namespace PLUGIN_NAME;
• ./plugin-name
• plugin-name.php
• class-info.php - SLUG, VERSION, OPTION_NAME, UPDATE_URL
• Make sure the UPDATE_URL has a trailing slash at the end
• frontend/class-frontend.php - assets method
• fronend/js/plugin-name-frontend.js
• fronend/css/plugin-name-frontend.css
• admin/class-admin.php - assets method
• admin/class-admin.php - text domain
• admin/js/plugin-name-admin.js
• admin/css/plugin-name-admin.css
• uninstall.php - option names
