This is a boilerplate WordPress plugin featuring namespace autoloading and integration with Carbon Fields. It is intended to be used as a starting point for creating quick WordPress plugins. It contains several examples and dependencies to get you started.

It may also be used as the means of separating custom code from the theme.

• Namespaces & dependency autoloading
• Dependency version checking (PHP, Carbon Fields)
• Object caching (when available) - Usage Examples
• Shortcodes, widgets and custom post type (via PostTypes) examples
• Optional configuration Constants (more are planned)
• More to come...

• WordPress 4.0 or higher
• PHP 5.4 or higher
• Carbon Fields 2.0 or higher (see Dependencies for more info)

1. At command prompt, change to your wp-content/plugins directory.
2. Close the repository: git clone https://github.com/dmhendricks/wordpress-base-plugin.git

1. Modify composer.json to suit your needs
2. Run composer install to install dependencies and autoload namespace

Note: hgoebl/mobile-detect is just loaded as an example. Feel free to remove it.

This plugin loads many of its defaults & settings from plugin.json. See Configuration & Constants for more information.
