I recently posted a simple HTML/CSS/Javascript project called Journey Cost Calculator Journey Cost Calculator. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to create a simple WordPress plugin.
As this website is built on WordPress technology it seemed like the right thing to teach some of the fundamentals that I use every day.
A WordPress plugin is a piece of software that can be added to a WordPress website to extend its functionality or add new features. Plugins are written in PHP and can include a variety of components such as widgets, shortcodes, and custom post types, allowing users to customise their sites to meet their specific needs without altering the core WordPress software.
Our plugin is going to use a shortcode which when placed on a new post or page on the website will display the Journey Cost Calculator on the site.
So where do we start?
