  1. WAYS TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR WORDPRESS PLUGIN Plugins are software pieces that let you add features to your website. It is easy to add plugins to the WordPress site just with a few clicks. The WordPress plugins are designed to appeal to the mass audience and thus it is possible that most of the time these plugins may not meet your specific needs. The good news is that WordPress lets you customize these plugins so that you are saved from building a plugin right from scratch.

  2. Hire Dedicated WordPress Developers who alter the code functions of the plugin and also expand it so that it meets your specific criteria. What is a plugin and how to find the right one? Plugins let you add some extended features to your website. These are used to expand the default functionality of WordPress so that every WordPress user has the option to personalize their website based on his needs. The first part of including a plugin into your WordPress website is to find the right one. WordPress offers you thousands of plugin options. You may want to put in extra consideration if you wish to add something extra to the plugin. The plugin that you would want to customize will be decided based on the functionality of your website. Like for example, if you have a WooCommerce store then you need an e-commerce plugin. The plugin that you choose should be one that you will use for a long time. You thus want to look at a plugin that:

  3. Is actively being maintained by the author. Has a good user base as per the niche. Responds to the support requests and has a good bug fixing the record. Offers the majority of the functions and features that you will need. The above may not be the ultimate list but it is a great place to start. Once you have chosen the plugin, it is time to ponder over what extra features you will need. Exploring any potential add-ons This is where you need to use your imagination and skill to decide on the type of features that can help you to customize the plugin. You need to take plugin software and make it more useful for you. The plugin should offer functionality that is specific to your site. You can use the Blockchain plugins on WordPress to verify the reviews. Another plugin allows timestamping the WordPress content on the EOSIO Blockchain.

  4. Customizing your WordPress plugin Now that you are ready with the base plugin and are clear about the functionalities that you want to add to it, here is how you can go ahead and customize the plugin. Collaboration with the developer of the plugin The easiest way to make a bespoke WordPress plugin is to collaborate with the plugin developer. It is quite easy to contact the plugin developer. Many would also like to incorporate the suggestions and comments that you may have. You can have a chat to see if the developer is open to collaboration and then send him your recommended changes. This is not a full-proof method but something that you can try.

  5. Create your supporting plugin If you wish to add additional functionality to a current plugin on your WordPress site then the best solution would be to create your plugin. You can use this feature to extend your plugin functionalities without altering its code. To write your plugin could be the only way out if the plugin developer is not ready to collaborate with you. The best is to Hire WordPress Developers who can do the task for you. Using and creating your custom hooks WordPress offers hooks that can be used by the plugins to integrate it into the core platform seamlessly. Plugins also provide their hooks which can let the other plugins customize how it works. If you have chosen a plugin that has these hooks then this makes the task for you much easier. You are free to write your plugin that works along with the hook. This is an easier option than developing the plugin from scratch. If there are no custom hooks added to the plugin code then you are free to create your own. The method is time taking and needs expertise. Once you add the hook you will also have to attach each one manually when any new plugin update is released.

  6. Combining features of the other WordPress plugins At times you may want to combine all or some parts of the plugin into another. This is not a simple process. Here are a few ideas where this can be done. Use a slider plugin that dynamically displays the best-selling products from your e-commerce store. Incorporate a survey form in the account page of the user but only when they complete a month of membership on your site. Using the plugin-specific hooks allows you to include these combinations. WordPress lets you work with various possibilities. All that you need is some willingness and imagination to experiment with the codes.

  7. CONCLUSION Altering the WordPress plugin is a difficult task and mistakes do creep in. Developers fail to back up the website before they start with the process or they may alter the plugin code without saving the original code in some other location. These issues can be sorted out but it takes time and causes stress. Hire WordPress Developers Team if you wish to avoid these common errors and get your WordPress site up and running in the least possible time. Resource
