You've found your WordPress Developer London !
WordPress services for businesses, design and brand agencies direct from London (near Shoreditch). We hot desk in central London.
Services include:
A framework for WP plugin modification. Customise WordPress plugins using our child plugins.
A child plugin is an extensions of a parent plugin. They allow developers to modify an existing plugin without directly editing the theme’s code and they are transportable. They can be installed on more than one site to make minor colour changes and complex custom overrides of the parent plugin.
Download your chosen WordPress child plugin from our website. Login to your WordPress Dashboard and upload your WP plugin .zip file. Our plugins are named as child plugins because they have a dependency on the parent plugin which are available from the WordPress Plugin Directory. Our plugins can only be activated in your WordPress Dashboard if the matched parent plugin is installed and active.
Step 1: Plugins > Add New Plugin > Choose your-plugin-child.zip
Option 1) edit your WP child plugin in your WordPress dashboard.
Step 2: Plugins > Plugin file editor
Select the plugin your-plugin-name-child from the dropdown list to display the wordpressdeveloperlondon.com WP plugin file structure. The available files to update are: plugin.php, style.css and scripts.js. Always update the your-plugin-name-child plugin and not the parent plugin. The name of the parent and child will match except for the ending "-child". If you methodise your web development using this technique you will be able to continue to receive parent plugin updates when the plugin author releases future updates. If you manually change or make minor edits to the parent plugin you may not be able to update it to receive security and feature updates without losing your file changes. Use one of our opensource WP plugins instead and change it how you want.
Option 2) use SFTP or FTP to upload your plugin.
Download your .zip plugin from our website, unzip the folder contents and upload the your-plugin-name-child folder to /wp-content/plugins/. Your folder path will become /wp-content/plugins/your-plugin-name-child. You will need your server FTP/SFTP details and an FTP client such as FileZilla.
When you install and activate a wordpressdeveloperlondon.com child plugin it creates an options page in your WordPress dashboard.
Step 3: Settings > Your Plugin Name Child plugin settings
More than one of our plugina can be activated on the same self hosted WordPress website. If you activate two plugins, two new plugin folders will be created for example /wp-content/plugins/plugin1-child/ and /wp-content/plugins/plugin2-child/. Two new WordPress dashboard plugin settings pages will appear under the Settings tab for example Plugin1 plugin settings and Plugin2 plugin Settings.
