Lab: Add a FAQ Feature to the Collapsible Content Plugin – Part 2
Video Runtime: 08:36
Now let’s walk through and test our module. In doing so, you’ll find that we need to change the taxonomy’s registration as we don’t want to show it on the front-end. Let’s make that change. Then we’ll commit the final changes to your GitHub repository.
I have to say how proud I am of you! Seriously! You worked right along with me. I know it was a long lab. The whole point was to walk you through the entire process of building a new feature module, step-by-step. I hope you learned about WordPress, PHP, Plugins, HTML, and more. We covered a lot of topics in this lab. Pat yourself on the back as you did a wonderful job!
WooHoo, I added a new feature module to an existing plugin in #WordPress Plugin Development A-Z Share on XYou Rock!
You just completed Part 2 of this 5 part series. You now have a completed plugin, one that you can adapt and use in your projects. Plus, you learned how to approach and think about plugin development from start-to-finish.
This plugin is yours. Show it off in your portfolio. Use it in your business. Adapt for yourself. It’s yours. It’s a completed, fully-functional, and ready-to-deploy plugin.
You did an excellent job. Congratulations!
Whoops, error to fix
After shooting this video, I saw an error in the Archive FAQ template file. If there are no records, we render out a message. But I forgot to return and bail out of the function. Here is the change. Add this return to your plugin too.
What to Do Next?
There’s a time to code and …. yup, that sums it up.
