I started developing plugins for WordPress almost eight years ago and moved to ClassicPress just over two years ago; I now have 47 plugins available for ClassicPress.

I am creating this series to show how certain aspects of development for ClassicPress plugins are done, partly to benefit others who take up developing for ClassicPress but also as a quick reference for myself including detailed examples.

This series index will automatically update to show new posts as they are published:
