  • David Wolfpaw: Let’s Build Our First Plugin!

    WordCamp Denver 2020Speaker: David Wolfpaw

    July 11, 2020 — If you’ve ever wanted to build your own plugin for WordPress, this is the session for you. We’re going to start from scratch and work our way up.
    First, we’ll take a look at the basic requirements of a plugin. Next we’ll take our example plugin idea and break it into the various components and steps that we’ll need. We’ll code up the plugin together and install it on our sites, debugging any problems that arise. Finally, we’ll look at ways that we could further extend our plugin.
    This tutorial assumes some HTML and CSS knowledge, but you don’t already need to be familiar with writing PHP or JavaScript.

  • Crear un plugin WordPress en 2020

    WordCamp Chiclana 2020Speaker: Benjamin Caubère

    June 16, 2020 — En 2011, creé un plugin conocido de gestión de boletines para WordPress, lo dejé en 2015 y desde entonces he trabajado como freelance.

    Después de un tiempo, utilizando otras tecnologías fuera de WordPress, he vuelto a la carga y actualmente estoy desarrollando un plugin de gestión de citas para negocio.

    Desde 2011 muchas cosas han cambiado :

    WordPress
    – Las tecnologías web
    – Las expectativas de los usuarios
    – El repositorio de WordPress

    Hay que renovarse para crear un plugin de calidad en 2020.

    Utilizando mis pasadas experiencias, hablaré sobre las motivaciones para crear un plugin y las distintas formas de abordar el desarrollo, viendo cada parte del proceso de creación desde la idea hasta el lanzamiento.

  • Stacy M. Clements: WordPress Security: Beyond The Plugin

    WordCamp Birmingham 2019Speaker: Stacy M. Clements

    October 29, 2019 — You installed a security plugin, and you don’t get much traffic anyway since your business is small…so you don’t need to worry about getting hacked, right?

    While there are several good security plugins that are a useful part of a security plan, securing a WordPress site requires more than a plugin. Plugins are handy tools but can give a false sense of security if the entire security landscape is not considered.

    You may not have a lot of money to invest, but you can learn a framework and some basic actions to help you get a better grasp on security for your website – and your business.
