  • creating admin pages
  • sample code of the Settings API implementation for admin pages
  • registration of activate/deactivate hooks
  • adding metaboxes on pages
  • creating sample shortcode
  • creating sample widget
  • creating AJAX requests storing sample data in the database
  • creating AJAX requests for fetching remote data with the HTTP API
  • adding frontend styles/scripts the right way
  • adding admin styles/scripts the right way
  • defining common constants for further use

and more. Use it freely as your plugin startup snippet.

Take the code as is for test and learning or use it when creating plugins for a solid base. To be extended with widget and shortcode samples.
