Customizations

Contains site specific custom code.

Description

The purpose of this plugin is to enable users to safely update child themes without losing customizations made to the child theme. Since WordPress doesn't support grandchild themes (for good reason), this is one way to allow users to add custom PHP, CSS and JavaScript that won't be overwritten if a child theme is updated.

Custom Functions

Place any custom PHP in the custom-functions.php file.

This file is loaded on the after_setup_theme hook so most theme functions will work.

To load more custom PHP files, add the file path and name to the customizations_add_functions function list in customization.php, e.g:

$files = array(
	'custom-functions',
	'more-custom-functions',
);

This will automatically load all files in the array.

Custom Templates

Custom templates should be added to the templates directory as well as the list of templates inside the customizations_add_templates function, e.g:

$custom_templates = array(
	'custom-template.php'         => 'Custom Template',
	'another-custom-template.php' => 'Another Custom Template',
);

Custom Scripts

Custom JavaScript should be placed in the custom-scripts.js file. There is an example function provided in this file.

Custom Styles

Any custom CSS should be placed in custom-styles.css.
