It can prove very efficient to stylize your WordPress plugin content and make it as visually enjoyable as possible.<\/p>\n

It is possible, in your plugin’s index or ou settings.php file, to include the functions.php path to add your functions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Using wp_register_style for a plugin<\/h2>
\/\/ Include path functions\ninclude( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'functions.php');<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Below you’ll find a function that triggers wp_register_style<\/strong> and wp_enqueue_style<\/strong>. Create a new CSS folder and a new CSS file called admin.css.<\/p>\n
In your functions.php file<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
\/\/ Load styles css for admin plugin\nfunction via_custom_wp_admin_style() {\n        wp_register_style( 'custom_wp_admin_css', plugins_url('\/css\/admin.css', __FILE__), false, '1.0.0', 'all');\n        wp_enqueue_style( 'custom_wp_admin_css' );\n}\nadd_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'via_custom_wp_admin_style' );<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
As you can see, the path is done so that it finds the folder and differs from typical paths. This time we’ll use plugins_url<\/strong> instead of get_stylesheet_directory_uri()<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
For example, let’s inject some Javascript in the plugin by using wp_enqueue_script. You first need to create a new JS folder in the plugin’s root and then a JS folder and PHP folder in your shortcodes.php file. Load it with the following function in your functions.php file<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
\/\/ Load javascript for admin plugin\nfunction via_shortcodes_script() {\n\twp_enqueue_script('shortcodes',plugins_url( '\/js\/shortcodes.js' , __FILE__ ),\n\tarray( 'scriptaculous' )\n\t);\n}\nadd_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'via_shortcodes_script' );<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
And you’re almost done! Simply add your DIV tags so you can easily style your plugin.<\/p>\n
