How does it work?

This thirteen minute video gives you an extensive overview on how WP Plugin Info Card works.

WP Plugin Info Card lets you display plugins & themes identity cards in a beautiful box with a smooth 3D rotation effect, or in a more large and responsive layout.

It uses WordPress.org plugins API & themes API to fetch data. All you need to do is provide a valid plugin/theme ID (slug name), and then insert the shortcode in any page to make it work at once!

This plugin is very light and includes scripts and CSS only if and when required (you can force scripts enqueuing in admin settings). The shortcode may be added anywhere shortcodes are supported within your theme.

The plugin also uses WordPress transients to store data returned by the API for 12 hours (720min by default), so your page loading time will not be increased due to too many requests.

The dashboard widget is very easy to set up: you simply add as many plugins and themes as you want in the admin page and they become visible in your dashboard. Fields are added on-the-fly and are sortable via drag-and-drop.

It is perfect to keep track of your own plugins!

This plugin uses the TinyMCE API to improve UI and make inserting shortcodes easier!

Please ask for help or report bugs if anything goes wrong. It is the best way to make the community benefit!

Other features

• You can provide a list of slugs (comma-separated) in your shortcode slug parameter, WPPIC will randomly choose one item from the list on each page refresh.
• You cane asily overload the plugin rendering. You need to create a new “wppic-templates” folder into your theme folder, then copy the template you want to overload from the WP Plugin Info Card “wppic-templates” folder.
• You can create your own template file. You need to create a new “wppic-templates” folder into your theme folder, then copy the template file “wppic-template-plugin-large.php” or “wppic-template-theme-large.php” from the WP Plugin Info Card ‘/wppic-templates’ folder. Rename the file as “wppic-template-plugin-NEWTEMPLATE.php” or “wppic-template-theme-NEWTEMPLATE.php”, edit it as you go, and add your own CSS rules. Finally, call your new template by adding the following parameter in your shortcode: layout=”NEWTEMPLATE”
