I followed a couple of your courses on Udemy... You seriously changed my way to code for WordPress!

[@BilalAhmad-w3k7r]

Thanks for such a valuable and sincere videos on WordPress. I've been working on WordPress(With Page builders and themes) for more than 5 years and on HTML and CSS for 2 years now but now I've decided to learn PHP and Javascript and my objective to be a Full Stack Developer by the end of 2025. And I'm sure your channel and video going to be a big asset for me. Thanks

[@thenumbats]

Was looking forward to this, so thank you again for your time and creating these videos.

very good Teacher

[@Simplebutgreat2]

Wow! Excelent teaching!

[@wandagal1]

SO AWESOME. Thank you!

[@LoganHermer-s4s]

my terminal is VS code has a longgggg file location that kind of clogs up there terminal. I see yours just simply says the name of the plugin folder. How did you do that?

[@LearnWebCode]

I'm using something called "Oh My Zsh" - it's available on Mac and Linux; also Windows if you use WSL. But you don't need to go that route; if you search for "customize command prompt minimal Windows" that should point you in the right direction.

Really good video!

Is it possible to create a plugin that registers a custom post type? ( instead of using ACF ) And how would you query the custom posts on the front end ?

[@deothemes]

It's pretty easy to do. I show it on my channel. Dynamic content in WordPress using post meta.

[@LearnWebCode]

Yes, until recently that was the only way to register a post type; if you Google for "register_post_type" that should load up the WP docs. As for querying the posts on the front end; we're going to cover that in not the next video, but the one after that in our PHP basics lesson. We'd just use WP_Query() and spell out 'post_type' => 'pet'

[@TwilightTrekker1]

Thank you, very useful.

[@sebastianszydlowski5834]

"Build" folder is not imported. How did you overcome this issue?

[@amirnadji5427]

All i know about wordpress developping, i learned it from your udemy course, thanks a lot. Now i created multiple websites for my clients with templates created from scratch. Do you plan to create a section for WooCommerce development? it is difficult to find un real complete course about it. Thanks again

[@LearnWebCode]

Thank you so much! So glad to hear the WP course was helpful. I can't make any promises about WooCommerce at this point, but I would like to (at some point) cover the basics of taking a classic theme that we're the creator of, and adding basic WooCommerce support to it.

[@asincerealgerian6298]

Please could make a video for ACF custom Field ?

[@LearnWebCode]

I covered ACF 2 or 3 videos ago on my channel. Does that video cover what you're interested in?

[@asincerealgerian6298]

@LearnWebCode Thanks for your reply, but no I want use of fields and post fields after you make a custom page with details please 🙂 thanks again.

[@brucecutler9670]

I get an error when attempting the npx command. npx.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. How do I resolve this? What option should I choose?

[@LearnWebCode]

In VS Code, when you have your terminal open, there's a "select" or "dropdown" menu that lets you select which command-line you want to use, by default it's probably set to PowerShell, try setting it to "Command Prompt" instead. And then try running the command.

[@brucecutler9670]

@@LearnWebCode I actually changed the security level at the PowerShell command to remove the security restrictions for that session.

[@MrBrady95]

Interesting, but why use node.js and the command line instead of just building your own folder/file structure?

[@amirnadji5427]

this is the "official" way to create plugins, recommended by Wordpress i think

[@LearnWebCode]

Good question; the simple answer is "because of the block editor" haha. The block editor uses React.js (which is great but introduces a lot of complexity) and so you're going to need some sort of Node.js tool to transpile your JSX into regular JS. If you weren't building a new block type, and were just building a traditional plugin with its own settings page you 100% do not need to use the official WordPress NPM script. Several lessons from now we're going to create our own classic theme and we will indeed create our own folder/file structure from scratch.

[@MrBrady95]

​@@LearnWebCode Thanks! I like the idea of simple. Just came across this and will plan to catch the rest in the series. 😃

[@jamesmassa1999]

Does this actually work for anyone? If you try and run this it will not work.
