Hey Sumo-Lings!

My name is Jannis - the founder of Pluginplate and WP Webhooks and I'm super excited about introducing you to this beast of a service!

Over the last five years of continuous plugin development, I finally had enough of manually adjusting my daily used plugin template over and over again. That's when I started working on a plugin template generator that allows me to save even more time by simply filling in the required values and the rest gets generated automatically.

Launched for my very own purposes, I never intended to open Pluginplate to the public but after receiving great requests, we are lucky we did!

Pluginplate combines code, from more than five years of experience, with amazing flexibility to not waste any additional time of removing code that isn't needed. Additionally, you can add extra features (so-called Modules) to extend the functionality of the template - That allows you to add commonly used features straight away so that you do not need to develop them from scratch again (Or to even try something new you haven't seen before).

For everyone reading this, I have another surprise: Pluginplate also offers a powerful API that allows you to create plugin templates from wherever you want. This feature is also part of the deal, even though it is not explicitly mentioned.

That's it from my end. Down below you will find a short Q&A based on the most commonly asked questions.

We'll be happy to welcome you on board soon! :)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How does your service determine if the simple or advanced template should be used?

It depends on your added modules. In general, we always use the simple template wherever the advanced template isn't needed. For example, modules that do not necessarily require a more complex setup are applied to the simple template without loading any advanced structure. Some of these modules that do not trigger the advanced template are:

- Add General Public License (GPL)

- Add readme.txt file

- Add helper documentation

- Add configuration files

How do I install my generated plugin template?

Our generator automatically creates a fully usable plugin file. To add it to your testing site, simply upload it within your plugin page using the "Add New" key.
