Developer Documentation Plugins

Developer Documentation Plugins

 

WordPress is fast, lightweight, and easy to use.Which means it is easy to sort out your developer documentation plugins. To ensure it stays that way, the Core Team thinks carefully about adding functionality to the core WordPress code. Still, users often find the need to graft additional functionality onto WordPress to meet their needs. This section of the Codex offers guidelines and references for anyone wishing to modify, extend, or contribute to WordPress.

 

You may also wish to consult the Developer Documentation FAQ.

 

WARNING: Programming Code Ahead

The following articles may use programming terms without offering detailed explanations for non-programmers.

Although the alteration of the downloadable files for WordPress is limited to a few distinct programmers, every WordPress user has the ability to effect change in the core WordPress code, making WordPress highly customizable.
