Has anyone used Replit to create WP plugins. I have a WordPress website and want to build some custom widgets for it. I actually created them on a website i built with replit, but the site structure and seo viability failed. I’m bummed because the blocks or interactive widegt were amazing and want them and more on my WordPress site. Any thoughts?
Maybe install wordpress in the repl and have it build them within it, then bundle it after?
Is there a template or starter that’s normally used for developing wordpress plugins? Never used wordpress myself, but if there’s any templates then that’s pretty easy to publish on Replit. Happy to help you set up the language configurations if you have a good repo for it
I’ve tried a couple of approaches for an application for Wordpress. I built it on Replit and it worked great but then fell apart when I tried it convert it to a Wordpress plugin. It lost the functionality in process. Then I start a new repl and created the plugin structure with php as the starting point. The challenge was not seeing what I was building on Replit. I had to zip and install on a site which it was missing core functionality because it doesn’t know what a plugin needs to install and activate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I built one for our analytics platform, what I did was made sure it built endpoints to communicate with the shopping cart systems I wanted to use (including Wordpress /woo) and had it pass on data with the plugin to the centralized analytics platform.
Yes, I’ve tried. I’ve used replit for quite some time now (a year or more?) wasn’t that long ago it saw WordPress anything and was like… Nah, I’m good. Still today I’ve not had much luck with PHP or WordPress.
Which kind of bums me out because I’d love to go next gen static with all of them.
