1000+ Downloads of DX Plugin Base

1000+ Downloads of DX Plugin Base

Almost 2 years ago I built the DX Plugin Base plugin as a skeleton for my own plugins – to copy-paste snippets that I regularly use like: adding custom post types, metaboxes, implementing the Settings API and so forth.

Few days ago it hit the 1000 downloads mark and I’m pretty happy that other people find that useful. Recently I saw a plugin published on WordPress.org by another author (I kinda inherited that since the author left my contributor name in the readme too) completely built on the top of the Plugin Base.

As a reminder, I welcome all contributions as issue requests or pull requests on GitHub, so let me know here in the comments or over GitHub/WordPress.org if there are other useful snippets that would be suitable for the base plugin (as frequently used snippets and features in WordPress plugins in general).
