You need to use the template_include filter which is the generic filter for all template inclusions. add_filter( ‘template_include’, ‘my_plugin_templates’ ); function my_plugin_templates( $template ) { $post_types = array( ‘project’ ); if ( is_post_type_archive( $post_types ) && ! file_exists( get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/archive-project.php’ ) ) $template=”path/to/list/template/in/plugin/folder.php”; if ( is_singular( $post_types ) && ! file_exists( get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/single-project.php’ … Read more
You can use register_taxonomy_for_object_type() to use a taxonomy with a post type, without having to touch the post type registration code, example: function wpa_categories_for_events(){ register_taxonomy_for_object_type( ‘category’, ‘tribe_events’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpa_categories_for_events’ ); To have events appear on the category pages, I believe you have to modify the default category queries via pre_get_posts to add … Read more

Maybe the author can just add a hook, so you can implement your code as separate plugin without changing the main … Read more
This one is actually surprisingly simple; add this to your wp-config.php file and all automatic updates will be blocked when outside of the specified hours: // Suspend updates when outside of business hours, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM $updates_suspended = (date(‘Hi’) < 0900 || date(‘Hi’) > 1730); define( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, $updates_suspended ); You can also use … Read more

register_setting() uses Settings API, which is just an API for options.php, is easier to use, more secure and preffered way of storing options since WordPress 2.7. If you need to store only a few options or doing simple plugin just for yourself – it’s really up to you which one to use 🙂 Here’s the … Read more
Many plugins use /wp-content/custom-plugin-folder/ to store customized plugin data (WPTouch comes to mind). Just use the constants WP_CONTENT_URL and WP_CONTENT_DIR Docs to check for the existence of your folder and retrieve any available skins. The following article, although not directly related to this Question, explains the importance for plugins/themes to search for translations first in … Read more
