This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Custom WordPress Plugins: Design, Develop, and Distribute. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
This course is designed to take you from a casual WordPress user to a capable plugin developer, guiding you through the creation of three distinct types of plugins: a custom post type plugin, a simple contact form plugin, and a basic social media sharing plugin. Through hands-on, step-by-step instruction, learn vital skills like registering custom post types, handling form submissions securely, and integrating popular social media sites. Take this course to not only create and customize your own plugins but also understand how to prepare them for submission to the WordPress Plugin Directory, empowering you to enhance WordPress sites with unique, functional tools–and possibly start your own plugin business.
