Being able to write your own plugins lets you write code that you can use on all your sites, regardless of the theme. Putting your code in a plugin is usually better practice than using the theme functions file. That way, you can switch themes without losing all the custom code on your site.
In our new Coffee Break Course, WordPress Coding Basics: Your First Plugin, you’ll learn how to write your first simple plugin. Experienced instructor Rachel McCollin will show you how to configure all the plugin metadata and how to install it on your site, and you’ll also get some ideas of simple projects you can build to make your own code more reusable.
Watch the introduction below to find out more.
