Here I will demonstrate how to build a wordpress plugin that will add prefix and suffix to each post content.
Step 01:
The name of the plugin that will be created here will be called PreSuff (Prefix / Suffix).
Create a directory for plugin under wordpress-root\wp_content\plugins. The directory name will be presuff.
So under wordpress root directory We will have: \wp_content\plugins\presuff.
Step 02:
Create a file called presuff.php. the content of the file will be:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: PreSuff plugin
Plugin URI: http://www.flash-jet.com
Description: A plugin demo that adds prefix and suffix to post content.
Version: 1.0
Author: Gabriel Magen
Author URI: http://www.flash-jet.com
*/
?>
Step 03:
Add a filter:
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘presuff’);
Step 04:
Add a function:
function presuff($content) {
$prefix= <<<PRE
<h3><center>Prefix to add to post<hr>
PRE;
$suffix= <<<SUFF
<h3><center>Suffix to add to post
SUFF;
return $prefix.$content.$suffix;
}
Step 05:
The whole file will look like the following:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: PreSuff plugin
Plugin URI: http://www.flash-jet.com
Description: A plugin demo that adds prefix and suffix to post content.
Version: 1.0
Author: Gabriel Magen
Author URI: http://www.flash-jet.com
*/
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘presuff’);
function presuff($content) {
$prefix= <<<PRE
<h3><center>Prefix to add to post<hr>
PRE;
$suffix= <<<SUFF
<h3><center>Suffix to add to post
SUFF;
return $prefix.$content.$suffix;
}
?>
Step 06:
- Activate the plugin.
- Create a Post.
- Result: the post include HTML content you wrote under $prefix and $suffix.
