Lab Introduction

In this lab, you and I are going to continue building the Team Bios plugin that we did in the Custom Post Type Basics lab. We’ll add a custom taxonomy to it to provide a grouping for the departments.

The first step then is to get the Team Bios plugin installed into your sandbox project. If you don’t already have it from the previous lab, no worries as you clone it from this GitHub repository. I walk you through the process in the video, step-by-step:

1. Open up your sandbox project and navigate in terminal to the your-sandbox-site/wp-content/plugins directory.
2. Copy the clone SSH link from GitHub
3. Then type: git clone git@github.com:KnowTheCode/Custom-Post-Type-Basics-Lab.git
4. Rename the directory to team-bios
5. Rename the plugin-bootstrap.php file to bootstrap.php
6. Add a assets and config folders
7. Copy the index.php into each folder.

Then we change the README.md file to reflect our new plugin and repository. You will want to create a GitHub repository with your account and then push this plugin to it.

Then we talk about what we are doing in the lab.
