wp_enqueue_script() with unknown path and maybe symlink

I did something similar in one of the plugins I’m developing. static function enqueue_admin_scripts( string $hook_suffix ): void { if ( self::get_page_hook_suffix() !== $hook_suffix ) { return; } $utils_path = self::get_utils_script_path(); if ( ! empty( $utils_path ) ) { wp_enqueue_script( ‘my-plugin-utils’, $utils_path ); } } static function get_utils_script_path(): string … Read more
Where can I store data in WordPress?

If we consult the Gutenberg/JavaScript documentation for internationalization: The translation files must be in the JED 1.x JSON format. […] <?php function myguten_set_script_translations() { wp_set_script_translations( ‘myguten-script’, ‘myguten’, plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . ‘languages’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘myguten_set_script_translations’ ); WordPress will … Read more

Here’s a general approach to achieve this: Access the Block’s Attributes: The first step is to retrieve the current attributes of the block you’re working with. … Read more
Add an action only for a specific user in a plugin
If you run get_current_user_id() too early, like you’re doing, it will just return 0. Wrap your logic containing that function inside a hook, like init, or inside the rt_* callbacks, to avoid that. Note that init fires right after current user setup and before admin_menu (src)
