Good Tools

This starter plugin is built for developers who need to rapidly prototype new features for WordPress projects. It provides a structured foundation that eliminates repetitive setup work, letting you focus on testing and iterating on functionality.

• Custom Post Feed Shortcode: Use [gd_post_feed] to display a feed of posts, pages, or custom post types. Parameters let you filter by category, order, and custom fields, and you can define a custom template for rendering each item.
• Template Variables: The shortcode exposes variables like $the_title, $the_excerpt, $the_permalink, and $custom_field for use in your template files. This gives you full control over the HTML output without modifying plugin code.
• Quick Installation: Upload the plugin file to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate it through the WordPress admin. No complex configuration is required to start building.
• Flexible Rendering: Templates can be written as a single string variable or using heredoc syntax, supporting both simple and complex layouts. This makes it easy to integrate with existing theme styles.
• Open Source Foundation: The plugin is available on GitHub under a public repository, allowing you to fork, modify, and contribute improvements as needed for your projects.
