WordPress Plugin Development

We've written a lot of WordPress plugins. We even wrote a book about WordPress Plugin Development.

Custom Content Type Manager

WordPress is not mature as a content management system as MODX, but with our Custom Content Type Manager plugin (CCTM), you can finally break out of your blog and start building a real web site.

PHP Snippets

If you've ever struggled to add PHP or HTML snippets to your WordPress posts or pages, then this plugin is your friend. Any PHP files you put in the configured directory will be available for selection in the PHP-Snippet's TinyMCE pop-up window. Once selected, a shortcode is added to your post or page, and it will automatically get parsed for users on the front-end. Any PHP in that file will be executed. Unlike similar plugins, this one offers an easy to use pop-up window to select any available snippet, and unlike many alternatives, this plugin does NOT use PHP's eval() function. That means any errors you have in your code will be accurately reported back to you, including the line number.

This plugin finally makes it easy to add custom PHP to your site without having to write your own plugins or modify theme files.

Summarize Posts

Summarize Posts is a powerful set of API functions letting you query the WordPress database in very flexible ways. This plugin is bundled in the CCTM. It provides a thorough and unified way to search for posts or pages in ways that built-in WordPress functions do not. Instead of several similar functions with various caveats, the Summarize Posts plugin lets you powerfully retrieve the posts you need.
