WordPress Plugin Development Workflow
Overview
Specialized workflow for creating WordPress plugins with proper architecture, hooks system, admin interfaces, REST API endpoints, and security practices. Now includes WordPress 7.0 features for modern plugin development.
WordPress 7.0 Plugin Development
Key Features for Plugin Developers
Real-Time Collaboration (RTC) Compatibility
Yjs-based CRDT for simultaneous editing
Custom transport via sync.providers filter

AI Connector Integration
Provider-agnostic AI via wp_ai_client_prompt()
Settings > Connectors admin screen
Works with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Ollama
Abilities API
Declare plugin capabilities for AI agents
REST API: /wp-json/abilities/v1/manifest

const MyPluginDataView = (const data = [];
const fields = [
{ id : 'title' , label : 'Title' , sortable : true },
{ id : 'status' , label : 'Status' , filterBy : true }
];
const view = {
type : 'table' ,
perPage : 10 ,
sort : { field : 'title' , direction : 'asc' }
};
return (
<DataViews
data ={data}
fields ={fields}
view ={view}
onChangeView ={handleViewChange}
/>
