WordPress plugin boilerplate with autoloader, Core, Admin, and Front structure.

Requires: PHP 8.1+, WordPress 5.x Tested with: WordPress 6.9.1, PHP 8.3 Version: 1.0.0

Prefixes: asc-boiler-plate (slug, handles, classes), asc_boiler_plate (options, JS object names). Use search/replace to rename when starting a new plugin.

Structure

  • asc-boiler-plate.php – Bootstrap: constant, autoloader, activation/deactivation/uninstall hooks, Core singleton.
  • includes/Core/Core.php – Lifecycle hooks, plugin URL/path, text domain; loads Admin and Front.
  • includes/Admin/Admin.php – Settings page (Settings → aS.c Boiler Plate) and admin asset enqueue on that page only.
  • includes/Front/Front.php – Front-end asset enqueue (front.css, front.js, localized AJAX).
  • assets/admin/ – admin.css, admin.js (jQuery, localized asc_boiler_plate_admin with ajax_url, ajax_nonce).
  • assets/front/ – front.css, front.js (jQuery, localized asc_boiler_plate_front).

Setup

  1. Copy this folder (or move it) to wp-content/plugins/asc-boiler-plate/.
  2. Run composer install in the plugin directory.
  3. Activate the plugin.
  4. Go to Settings → aS.c Boiler Plate to see the placeholder settings page (admin CSS/JS load there).

Starting a new plugin

  1. Copy the boilerplate to a new folder (e.g. my-plugin).
  2. Search/replace: asc-boiler-plate → my-plugin, asc_boiler_plate → my_plugin, ASC\BoilerPlate → your namespace, aS.c Boiler Plate → your plugin name.
  3. Rename the main file to my-plugin.php and update the constant and hooks as needed.
