Custom Plugin with subfolders | ww.wp.xz.cn

Hello.

I know how to create a custom plugin but I don’t know how to create a custom plugin which has subdirectories of plugins e.g.
```
plugins/
  myCustomBlocks/ 
    textBlock/
     textBlock.php
     textBlock.js
    imageBlock/
     imageBlock.php
     imageBlock.js
    videoBlock/
     videoBlock.php
     videoBlock.js
```
etc…

Could I have an index file in the root folder? If so, what would it have to contain?
(Have done Googling on this but can’t find any answers….).

Any help much appreciated!

No, you would not use a index.php file.
Why do you want the folders?
Whatever code is using the files in the folders should use relative paths to the files.

Hi Joy,
that is what I call a quick response! Thanks 🙂

I didn’t necessarily want to use an index.php file – I just wanted to use
a main directory that would contain all the individual blocks code.

And for each of those blocks to show up as a plugin on the plugins page.

Have had a play around with no luck.

Could you give me a little more details? Or maybe I should just create each block plugin as an individual folder within wp-content/plugins/…?

You can’t do it the way that you’ve described. For plugins, 1 folder = 1 plugin.

Have a read through this, and it should answer most of your questions and show you what to do. https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Writing_a_Plugin

You might want to wait a bit. There is work starting for a block directory, but it looks right now to be JS only. Still, it will be 1:1.
