Overview

This WordPress plugin simplifies the creation and management of functionality plugins, allowing users to offload custom functions typically embedded in a theme’s functions.php file into a separate plugin. By doing so, it ensures that these custom functions remain unaffected by theme upgrades or changes. Upon installation and activation, the plugin automatically generates a functionality plugin for the user, who can then easily add and modify code snippets via an admin menu link. Additionally, the code is open-source and available on GitHub for contribution, with a Serbian translation provided by Ogi Djuraskovic from FirstSiteGuide.com.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate how the plugin simplifies the process of creating a custom, site-specific functions.php, ensuring those functions remain active regardless of theme changes. It provides an easy-to-understand introduction to plugin coding and is highly user-friendly. However, users have noted a few drawbacks: the plugin may be outdated, it is incompatible with certain editors like WP Editor for functions.php, and there are issues when used on multisite WordPress installations, such as plugins disappearing from the list. Despite these drawbacks, many users find it highly effective and consistent, especially on single-site setups, and it avoids issues encountered with other snippet management plugins.

I was exactly looking for that, but I think the plugin is outdated. This topic was modified 2 years ago by Firas Abd Alrahman.

Perfect plugin, I discover it thanks to wootheme documentation, it will be very useful the day I need to update my theme. Just a little thing: I’m using WP Editor to improve the quality of my plugin & theme editor, however when i’m editing the new functions.php, the editor isn’t working, I have the original editor from wordpress. Do you know why/how can I make it work? Thanks

I suggest this to folks I’m helping all the time who the barrier to write a plugin from scratch seems too high. A nice way to intro people to plugin coding.
