WP Plugin Framework

A WordPress plugin framework is a simple and light-weight base to build any standard WP plugin on top of it. Easily achieve high productivity. It contains various items, such as Settings pages, Data tables, Widgets, Metaboxes, Custom Post Types, Shortcodes along with infrastructure for DB operations.

There are extra classes for API integration, AJAX, File upload and Cron jobs.

NOTE: Requires PHP 5.4 and up. Uses cURL for API integration class.

Usage

1. Change the class namespaces, file namespaces, declarations in wp-plugin-framework.php and install.php before you start coding. Also, change the /asset file paths in plugin file wp-plugin-framework.php to your chosen folder path name. It's a precaution to avoid conflict.

2. In autoload.php the PLUGIN_BUILD class includes all the files in instance and declares the classes inside them. You can remove existing files or add more files. It's recomended to put all the plugin features instances inside PLUGIN_BUILD. This will help in organising the code.

3. In autoload.php the installation and uninstallation classes contain possible situations, including DB installation and uninstallation features.
