CUSTOMIZE WORDPRESS WITH VISUAL SCRIPTING

FloPress is a suite of integrated tools for WordPress developers & integrators to design and build features without writing a line of code. You can do many things with FloPress like making WordPress more secure, updating post data, creating Shortcodes or whatever you want.

  • The ideal compromise between custom development and reusability​
  • Reduce development time and share features across all websites
  • Get full access to hooks and functions definitions
  • Learn WordPress’s coding in a fun way​

Visual scripting system is based on the concept of using graphical elements, which represent functions, operators or variables, and to connect them typically via lines or arrows, to forming relations and build scripts. Instead of having to write code line by line, you do everything visually.

This system is extremely flexible and powerful as it provides the ability to use virtually the full range of concepts and tools, usually only available for developers. Code is more visual and it needs less abstract thinking to be understood. Any integrator, developer can look at it and quickly grasp the flow of logic.

Features are composed with the following element

  • Hook scripts (actions and filters) Hooks are used to literally hook into parts of the WordPress page to retrieve, insert, or modify data. They can allow us to take certain actions behind the scenes.
  • Shortcode scripts Shortcodes simplify the use of features in WordPress.
  • Templates Templates can generate any text-based content like HTML, CSS, Javascript, …
  • Data items Data items are used to define settings fields or to share value between flow scripts.

Why use it ?

Because it’s much easier. By linking native WordPress mechanisms together, it is possible to deal with many situations that do not require the installation of a complete plugin to use a small part.

  • Easy to maintain
  • Easy to learn
  • Portable
