Follow along with Pippin Williamson as he provides expert perspective on what makes WordPress plugins tick, and how you can build your own. Throughout this course we will build a Simple Post Expiration plugin that does exactly one thing and does it remarkably well: prepend the word “Expired” to a post’s title if a specific date has passed. With this, we’ll learn about the various WordPress coding standards, be introduced to he Plugin API, tap into numerous core hooks, and build each supporting function and plugin file from scratch.
