Plugin Builder free WordPress plugin

This is a plugin for WordPress plugin developers. If you don’t understand what PHP, HTML, CSS, add_action and apply_filters are then this plugin is not for you! The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate is a fantastic tool for standardising WordPress plugins, and encouraging developers to use best practices.

Once your plugin is built you can, of course, edit the files in any way you want to add extra methods. Plugin Builder will even create a manager class for your Custom Post Types if you want, as a place to store methods related to your CPTs – such as a get_all() method, for example. And that’s not all. Some developers like to include extra items in their plugins, like utility classes or frameworks such as the WordPress Settings Framework. Plugin Builder automates that process, too, by downloading and including the files you choose in your new plugin.

So, let’s look at the traditional way of using the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate to create a new plugin: Download the
