Outline – Overview
In the last few years the powerful open source WordPress software has become very popular, not just for basic blogs but for full blown web environments. As there are seem to be so many people out there needing a good tutorial on writing plugins (like me), yet few really simple tutorials available, I decided to write my own.
- In this series we’ll take a look at exactly what it takes to build plugins for WordPress.
- The content of the series begins with this introduction and covers everything you need to write a plugin for WordPress 3v0 and above.
- Topics included are, basic plugin construction, hooks, action, filters, building admin and user panels plus the use of JavaScript, CSS and AJAX in your plugins.
We finish with some tips on releasing your plugin to the WordPress community and discuss how to get free plugin hosting and publicity from WordPress.
The first session of the series can be found at 101 How to Write a WordPress Plugin (Video)
