Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/rainydaymedia/joystick-for-wordpress/archive/refs/heads/master.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Joystick for WordPress
A handy little plugin to contain all your theme/plugin customizations, snippets, and modifications.
Think of this plugin as an alternative to adding code snippets to the functions.php, or style.css file in your child theme.
Why?
This plugin keeps all of your project changes in one location, independent of the other components that make up your Wordpress website. That means you can safely perform theme and/or plugin updates without the fear of losing your modifications as well as easily deactivating your customizations to check for conflicts.
Note:
This plugin doesn't actually do anything on its own. It is purely a convenient place for you to store your own theme/plugin customizations.
