The combined result of *too many* years making one-off WordPress customizations and filtering hooks... I truly hope it brings inner peace and enlightenment to your world. (˘▾˘) Complementary Plugins --------------------- [](#complementary-plugins) The following plugins are particularly complementary; in fact a notable number of 0.1.0 actions were dropped in 0.2.0 in favor of using the methods from these fantastic plugins instead! - Admin cleanup & modifications: [soberwp/intervention](https://github.com/soberwp/intervention) - Custom post types & taxonomies: [soberwp/models](https://github.com/soberwp/models) How To Use ---------- [](#how-to-use) - Install Plugin (see below) - Add `jetfuel('module-name', ['arbitrary', 'options']);` to `functions.php` ...or ideally a file `required()` by `functions.php`, e.g: ``` # functions.php $lib_includes = [ 'lib/mods.php', ]; foreach ($lib_includes as $file) { if (!$filepath = locate_template($file)) { trigger_error(sprintf(__('Error locating %s for inclusion', 'your-textdomain'), $file), E_USER_ERROR); } require_once $filepath; } unset($file, $filepath); ``` Modules ------- [](#modules) ### Deselect Uncategorized (Default Category) [](#deselect-uncategorized-default-category) ``` jetfuel('deselect-uncategorized'); ``` [![Deselect Uncategorized Screencast](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnowland/wp-jet-fuel/master/deselectUncategorized.gif)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnowland/wp-jet-fuel/master/deselectUncategorized.gif) @TODO: Add in-depth descriptions of individual modules.

This separates *form* (frontend layout) from *function* (administration), allowing you to retain functionality modifications across theme installations! Here's what some intelligent people say on the subject: > "We recommend that you always put custom post types in a plugin rather than a theme. This ensures that the user’s content is portable whenever they change their website’s design." — *[Wordpress.org Plugin Handbook](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-types-and-taxonomies/registering-custom-post-types/)* > See also: *[Why Custom Post Types Belong in Plugins](http://justintadlock.com/archives/2013/09/14/why-custom-post-types-belong-in-plugins)* and *[How to Create Your Own WordPress Functionality Plugin](http://wpcandy.com/teaches/how-to-create-a-functionality-plugin)* for more supporting evidence behind adding additional site functionality via a plugin instead of a theme's `functions.php` file. @TODO: ------ [](#todo) - [Set up @wordpress/scripts](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/tutorials/javascript/js-build-setup/) for block editor (Gutenberg) scripts: - `deselectUncategorized.js` ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance10 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity18 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity68 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
