306 – WordPress from A to Z – Part 2 In today’s episode, we break done some of the key phrases and terminology in WordPress. Announcements Custom Bulk Actions Is there a plugin for that? With more than 43,000 plugins in the WordPress repository, it’s hard to find the perfect one. Each week, I will highlight an interesting plugin form the repository. For more great plugins, download my 50 Most Useful Plugins eBook. Max Mega Menu is easy to use mega menu plugin. Written the WordPress way. WordPress from A to Z – Part 2 Admin tools: Customizer, custom fields, meta box, navigation menu, options, settings, shortcode, widget. Code: action hook, API, class, function, method, object, Object Oriented Programming, property. Admin Tools Customizer The WordPress Customizer is an interface that lets you make changes to the parts of your site that you can’t edit via the post editor. Exactly what features you have access to will depend on your theme (and sometimes plugins), but there are some default elements including widgets, menus and site identity. Custom Fields Custom field is another way of describing post metadata. Use custom fields to add extra data to your posts such as your mood when you were writing, the weather etc. Meta Box A meta box is an area in an admin screen that you use to add content, configure settings, or perform an action. You can add meta boxes by writing your own plugins. Navigation Menu The navigation menu is a menu you place in your site’s header to help people navigate around your site. Options An option is something you can change about your WordPress site that isn’t part of a post, page or any other content type. All of your site’s options are stored in the wp_options table in the database, the only table not linked to any other tables. Settings Settings are the configurations you make to your site or to plugins to get them working the way you want them to. Shortcode A shortcode is some text inside square brackets that you add to your posts, which then outputs or runs some code. Widget A widget is something you can add to a widget area in your site (e.g. in the sidebar or footer) without writing any code. Code Action Hook An action hook is a line of code added to a WordPress core file, a theme or plugin which lets you insert extra code by attaching a function to it. API API stands for Application Programming Interface. It’s a codebase which lets you interact with one system from another system. Class A class is a type of programming used in Object Oriented PHP. Using a class instead of a load of separate functions makes your code cleaner and easier to extend. Function A function is a block of code that you write into your theme or plugin to make something happen. WordPress core files also contain hundreds of functions. Method A method is something that’s used in Object-Oriented Programming. It’s how you describe a function that’s used inside a class. Object In Object-Oriented Programming, an object is a bundle of variables and related methods. Use them in classes to group functions together and make your code more efficient and easer to extend. Object-Oriented Programming Object-Oriented Programming is a programming method that uses objects, methods and classes to group code together and make it easier to extend. Property In Object Oriented Programming, a property is a variable you use with methods to store and output data. Thank You! Thank you to those who use my affiliate links.
