Future Addon Ideas

[Kurtis Karr]

This may be pretty weird, but I would like to be able to show a rotating/random header image. I have an art gallery website and would like to keep the first thing people see always fresh and interesting. I can’t find any plugins available that will do the job.

[Tom]

What’s weird is that a plugin for this doesn’t seem to exist!

I’ll see if I can cook something up and release it on WP.org for free – shouldn’t be too difficult 🙂

Addon for injecting script in the middle of content or after several paragraph. Is it possible? The case is I want to add Google AdSense in the middle of the article.

[Tom]

A plugin like this should work perfectly for you: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ad-inserter/

[Chandra]

Thanks Tom! I currently using Ad-Injection and the author is not updating much. So I’m preparing list of alternatives. Most of them not compatible with caching plugin though.

+1 Shortcode Addon.

Another suggestions, add short description where is exactly the hook located in GP Hook plugin. While it’s self-descripting but I still confused. Haha.. 😀 When I added Google Analytics code in WP_HEAD it came out as commented in the source code, after several trial and error it successfully installed at Before Head.

[Tom]

Caching plugins can be a real pain sometimes.

If you Google for an ad insertion plugin, there should be a few options out there.

Google Analytics code should actually go in wp_head hook – should work fine.

To see where each hook is located, add the following in them one at a time:

<div style="padding:20px;width:100%;background:red;">testing</div>

Animated hover effects plugin…

This one has been a recent ask for me and I have had to create my own, but a nice plugin that allows you to create animated div containers, and image hovers. These exist already but would be a great addition to the plugins list.

[Richard Bland]

Do you offer support for full width background videos?

[Tom]

Things like animated hover effects and background videos can baked into GP pretty easily if you find the correct scripts to use.

Especially background videos – you can find scripts/code to do this by Googling it, and then you can integrate it quite easily using GP Hooks or a child theme.

I do want to integrate background videos into the Page Header and Section add-ons as well – would be cool 🙂

Hi Tom,

Is there any chance a good filterable porfolio plugin is presented in te future? All the free plugins I find didn’t worked wel or fit my needs 🙂

[Richard Bland]

Funny enough we were just talking about this the other day. I am now building my own.

[Pieter]

Ah ok, will this be a free plugin?

[Richard Bland]

Well if I get to put some dev time into it outside of making onefor this particular client then yes I will be looking to make it available, but to be honest I would rather wait to see if Tom does something. He is definitely the plugin master. 🙂

[Pieter]

Of course! Tom is beside a master also a hero 😉

I find this link and maybe I gonna try this but if Tom has this in his to-do-list that would be great and saves me some trial and error. 🙂

[Tom]

Had something built a long time ago – it needs some definite love but I wouldn’t mind releasing it for free once I clean it up a bit 🙂
