WordPress Plugin Development

WordPress Plugin Development - Custom WordPress to your wishes by developing your own WordPress Plugin

WordPress plugin development takes the trouble to support software development! Once you have developed the WordPress plug-in for all you or your customer has to do is upload it to the plugins folder in your web server and activate it in the WordPress dashboard.

Speaking of easy installation!

What you need to get started in Software Development WordPress

1. A test environment (a wordpress blog created specifically for testing purposes).
2. A solid understanding of PHP.
3. The knowledge of how WordPress plugins.
4. An idea for a great and innovative plugin.

We will discuss the above statements one by one right?

Configuring a Test Development Environment Programs If you have a chance cpanel web hosting is that you can set up a new WordPress blog in less than a minute. What you need to do is create a child domain to be used for testing purposes only. Then after the subdomain is all set, assuming your web host has the feature Fantastico, installing a new blog on their new child domain using Fantastico.

All this should not have cost you more than a couple of minutes!

Side note: If you do not have cpanel or Fantastico you just have to create a blog on a subdomain of the old way.

Plugins need to develop a strong understanding of PHP Well, although it is an advantage that is not entirely true. You can just learn PHP as you go, but no doubt it would be better to go through some basic guidelines PHP first.

You need to know how WordPress plugins before starting again would be a great advantage, but it is perfectly possible to learn on the fly. In fact, if you just get into plugin development that probably do not know much about how they work. My recommendation is that you find a simple plugin exists and try to figure out how it works. The "Hello Dolly" plugin is a great place to start.

Side note: A good way to learn is to make minor modifications to the existing plugins and see what happens.

Great Ideas Plugin This is the only part that I can not really help you. If you are an "idea man" will come naturally, if not, will have to work harder.
