<p>A functionality plugin is a way to separate what you might normally place in a theme’s <code>functions.php</code> file, and put it in a plugin instead. It works the same way as a theme <code>functions.php</code> file, but is separate from the theme and so not affected by theme upgrades, or tied to the theme so you loose all of your functions if you choose to switch themes.</p>
<p>This plugin automates the process of creating a functionality plugin. Simply install and activate this plugin, and your very own functionality plugin will be created for you. You can then edit your functionality plugin and add snippets to it using the quick link in the admin menu.</p>
<p>See <a href="http://wpdaily.co/functionality-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">this WP Daily post</a> for more information on functionality plugins.</p>
<p>This plugin’s code is <a href="https://github.com/sheabunge/functionality" rel="nofollow ugc">available on GitHub</a>. Please feel free to fork the repository and send a pull request. If you find a bug in the plugin, open an issue.</p>

Functionality

I suggest this to folks I'm helping all the time who the barrier to write a plugin from scratch seems too high. A nice way to intro people to plugin coding.



Simple to use

Very good and super useful!

I was exactly looking for that, but I think the plugin is outdated.

Nice Idea, but does not seem to work

Creates a functionality plugin where you can add your functions.php code snippets.
