I have a local copy of my website saved in local sites. I am able to open the site and the back end locally and edit the site successfully.
I am now building a simple word press plugin so i start with creating a plugin folder in the plugin directory, and in the folder i create a php file with the same name as the folder. I include this php code.
But when i open my wordpress backend i do not see the plugin. what could be the problem?
<?php
/**
* @package myzznewplugin
*/
/* Pugin Name: myzznewplugin
Version: 1.0.0
Author: John Doe
Text Domain: myzznewplugin
*/
?>
In order to test if anything was wrong i simply copied the php from hello dolly and pasted it into my new plugin php and removed all the code i did not need. i then edited the details to my needs and tested, and it worked.
I must have had a spelling mistake in the file of folder name or some typo in the script.
@sunspellmarketing for creating a custom plugin, even a simple one, I recommend you use a template (like you did with Hello Dolly) or use a generator/boilerplate, some quick examples:
haha good eye! Didnāt even noticeā¦
Thatās exactly the reason why I use ready code as a base, writing yourself might make you lose hours searching for typos or wrong implementation of something.
