WordPress Developers: Create a Plugin #2 - Member Directory

This course will show how to create a member listing plugin.

The plugin was originally a request from a client of mine, so this is a real-world example that I have developed in a similar manner for a real customer.

It is using the plugin template from Hugh Lashbrooke.

It's also using a plugin for custom fields (CMB2).

The finished plugin will have these features:

1) It defines a custom post type "directory." 

2) It defines a custom taxonomy "cities" for the directory entries. 

3) It adds the custom fields "Company Name" and "Address." 

4) It creates a shortcode to display a search form on a page. 

5) It implements a custom WordPress query to search by name and taxonomy.

6) It can import CSV files, so that you can batch-insert new data from an Excel table.

The class contains step-by-step instructions to make it easy to follow the instructions. You can also download the final plugin and just use it and make your own modifications to it.
