There is not much to it, really.
-
During the loading of WordPress engine
wp-settings.php
file is processed. -
Among other things this files calls
wp_get_active_and_valid_plugins()
function, that gets list of activated (through admin interface) plugins fromactive_plugins
option (stored in database). - For each active plugin its main file (the one holding plugin header) is
include
d and from there it is up to plugin how it uses Plugins API (more commonly known as hooks) to integrate with WordPress.
Basically it is only a thin layer of active/inactive controls on top of straight PHP include
.
