Let's code! Creating your first WordPress Plugin

When you need to add some custom functionality to your WordPress site, the best place to put it is in a plugin.

A plugin allows you to add all sorts of things to your WordPress site, from small customizations all the way to up to API integrations, and more.

Join us to learn how plugins work in WordPress, how to create your first plugin and a few fun examples of what plugins can do.

If you want to code along, you will need to have access to a local WordPress install.

Popular options for local installs are:

• XAMPP
• MAMP
• WampServer
• DesktopServer
• LocalWP
• DevKinsta

You will also need a text editor to edit WordPress files:

• Visual Studio Code
• Sublime Text
• Notepad++
• Atom

You can also use a service like InstaWP, which allows you to create a free WordPress install, and has a cloud-based code editor.
