- In this directory there is a must-use-plugin titled Starter Theme Functionality. This plugin contains useful functions that are project-related rather than theme-related.
- Must Use Plugins are executed (ie. activated automatically) before any other plugins, and cannot be disabled by the user. This is a great way to store important functionality for a WordPress project, and ensure it won't be accidentally deactivated or removed.
- Functions in the plugin: removal of the default link to attachment file on images, removal of the
<p>tag around images, setup of custom editor styles, customization of the excerpt - Resources:
- Must Use Plugins - WordPress Codex article
- Creation of this plugin was inspired by this CSS-Tricks article: WordPress Functionality Plugins
- Add Editor Style - WordPress Codex article on setting up an
editor-style.cssstylesheet
- WordPress starter theme originally created while taking Zoe Rooney's Neatly Polished WordPress development class
