Build a Plugin
This tutorial walks through building a plugin the “WPPF way.” It is opinionated and assumes you are comfortable with Composer and WordPress development basics.
What you’ll build
- A plugin entry file that extends
WPPF\v1_2_2\WordPress\Plugin. - A custom post type with supporting meta and admin screens.
- An admin module, meta box, and a few framework utilities.
How to follow along
Run all CLI commands from your plugin root directory (the folder whose name matches your plugin slug). Most commands use the current working directory to decide file paths and class names.
