In many cases, it's better to use a code snippet (or WordPress function) for specific functions than a plugin--if only to have one less item to worry about when updates come around. And while you'll find an endless source of code snippets out there, here are the five we've found to be the most useful when developing for WordPress. Enjoy!
When beginning a new WordPress project, what are the five most important things every WordPress developer should know if they are to succeed?
Beyond best practices, some tips must come from experience. And this is what our five below are: hard-earned bits of knowledge we've found to be invaluable, especially as a project moves on.
We're gearing up for this year's WordCamp 2013, and in anticipation of the event, we'll share a few cool (and helpful!) things about WordPress plugin development that make our keyboards glow with glee.
There are so many ways to tackle developing a new WordPress plugin that it's easy to lose your way, especially when it doesn't work as expected. So to shine a little light on it, we've put together a short guide to the best practices that can help make your plugins more effective all around.
Are you headed to WordCamp Toronto this year? We are! We hope to have an opportunity to speak and share a few cool things we've learned. But whether we speak or not, we're looking forward to the great conversations that always arise and taking in the WordPress wisdom others have to share.
WordCamp is an annual event dedicated to WordPress, and it's a blast each year. This year it'll be held on Saturday, October 5th through Sunday, October 6th down at Humber College's Lakeshore Campus.
Although we've attended the last few years, this is the first year we'll be a sponsor of the event--and we couldn't be more excited! And if you aren't familiar with WordCamp but are a regular user or developer of WordPress, you will definitely want to check it out. Tickets aren't on sale quite yet, but you can grab them for $30 (and that covers the entire weekend) when they go up!
Stay tuned for more news as we get closer to WordCamp!
