<h4>Use Your Favourite Tools</h4>
<p>Everyone has their favorite Mac apps, so why be limited to creating templates inside the WordPress browser window? Mountee allows you to access your templates as Finder files, so you can work uninterrupted in your favourite app.</p>
<h4>Work With Files & Folders</h4>
<p>Creating a new template or template group is as easy as creating a new file or folder. Develop your own set of re-usable templates and groups, then simply drag them into your Mountee drive to kick-start your next project.</p>
<h4>Don’t Let The Control Panel Disrupt Your Workflow</h4>
<p>With Mountee’s File Preferences panel you can control template attributes – like caching and PHP processing – directly from your editor app of choice.</p>
<h4>Mountee Works Behind The Scenes</h4>
<p>Mountee knows WordPress and ExpressionEngine. When you save a template, Mountee will clear the cache and save a revision if necessary. If you drag a template from one site to another, settings transfer over seamlessly.</p>
<p>Mountee’s home on the web is at <a href="http://hellomountee.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://hellomountee.com/</a>.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>Mountee works with WordPress 4.4 and higher.</p>
<p>Mountee is really two pieces of software: the Mac application, and the WordPress plugin.<br />
The plugin requires PHP 4.4.9 or later. To use the application, you’ll need Mac OS X 10.8 or higher.</p>
<h4>Installation</h4>
<ol>
<li>Download Mountee.zip and unzip it.</li>
<li>Upload the plugin files to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name</code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress</li>
<li>Use the Settings->Plugin Name screen to configure the plugin</li>
<li>Install the Mac OS X App by moving the app to your Applications folder</li>
</ol>

<p>Create your own custom variables to manage information on your website such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Phone numbers</li>
<li>Addresses</li>
<li>Social media links</li>
<li>HTML snippets</li>
<li>And anything else<br />
test</li>
</ul>
<p>Easily access them globally in WordPress and PHP.</p>
<h4>Why you need it</h4>
<p>Rather than having to change something like an email address across multiple pages, you can do it in one place. Avoid the pitfalls of hard coding information in your WordPress theme that is likely to change.</p>
<h4>Why it’s better</h4>
<ul>
<li>Your variables are stored and retrieved locally without any calls to the database. That means faster load times for your pages!</li>
<li>Variables can be accessed easily in PHP from the global scope.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Display your variables using the shortcode syntax:</p>
<pre><code>[cgv variable-name]
</code></pre>
<p>Or using the superglobal in PHP:</p>
<pre><code><?php echo $GLOBALS['cgv']['variable-name'] ?>
</code></pre>


Custom Global Variables

By far the best one "Variables" plugin. I tested some others, those were based on database and because of failed caching I experienced problems. Since the day I moved to this plugin, all problems disappeared :)  I love the simplicity :)



Best of the ones I tested

Easily create custom variables that can be accessed globally in Wordpress and PHP. Retrieval of information is extremely fast, with no database calls.
