Intro:
Hello, Now Wordpress is a popular CMS. It has thousands of plugins and thousand of themes. We use different kinds of plugin. But we don't even know how to develop this plugin. I will teach you accordingly.
Essential tools:
What is Plugin?
Basically wordpress runs on PHP scripts which changed its functionality. Basically it is a feature and to get some extra feature we add/use plugin.There is no limitation or size of building plugin and get it to work.
Plugin Folder Structure:
Every wordpress plugin installs in this directory wp-content/plugins Directory. Some plugins contains one PHP file. No matter how many files you have you should put it in one folder. Here's how:
For Example:
Blackhatworld Spam protection Plugin
Plugin Header:
Without plugin header wordpress don't recognize your plugin. Plugin header is the only function that wordpress cares about. Plugin header contains the details of the plugin you are going to develop.
Example:
<?php /* Plugin Name: Blackhatworld Spam Protection Plugin URI: http://blackhatworld.com/ Description: This Is A Demo Description of your plugin. Version: 1.0 Author: http://blackhatworld.com/ Author URI: http://blackhatworld.com/username License: GPL2 */ ?>
If you want license you can also put in your php code. Here's how----
<?php /* Copyright YEAR PLUGIN_AUTHOR_NAME (email : PLUGIN AUTHOR EMAIL) This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2, as published by the Free Software Foundation.
