Description

It’s nice to pre-populate terms, content or have the ability to only OCCASIONALLY run actions.

In the past, I’ve had to manually use special $_GET variables.

Not any more! This plugin provides a simple interface for admins/super admins to fire a special hook. You can easily hook onto that action in order to perform your infrequent or expensive logic.

This could be anything such as pre-filling content, auto-creating terms, updating the database in a certain manner, talking to or updating an API, etc.

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Define functions that are hooked to: AaronHolbrook\Seeder\doing_seed that you would like to only run when you press the magic ‘Do Seeding’ button
  1. Seeding button is placed in the 'At a Glance' dashboard meta box.

Installation Instructions

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Define functions that are hooked to: AaronHolbrook\Seeder\doing_seed that you would like to only run when you press the magic ‘Do Seeding’ button

I installed the plugin but nothing happens

That’s because this function is more of a power user plugin. This plugin gives developers a way to infrequently perform actions. If you are unfamiliar with the WordPress action hook system, this plugin is probably not for you.
