Staff Domain - Technical Assessment

Task A - WordPress Custom Plugin

Task details

Build a small custom WordPress plugin (no page builders or off-the-shelf plugins doing the work for you) that:

  1. Adds a settings page in the WordPress admin where an administrator can enter and save a configuration value (e.g., a city name or an API key).
  2. Fetches data from a public API of your choice (e.g., weather, currency, or quotes API) using that setting.
  3. Exposes the fetched result on the front end.

Note from Junmar: This task I built by hand (traditional development and not AI-assisted)
