WordPress plugins · made in plain English
Build the WordPress plugin you actually need.
Describe what you want your site to do — in normal words. We turn it into a clean, reviewed, install-ready WordPress plugin in minutes. No PHP. No plugin bloat. No babysitting required.
Things people ask us to build
What you get
Real PHP. Clean code. Ready to ship.
Here's the plugin that gets generated when you ask: “Email me when a WooCommerce order tops $500.”
- Proper plugin header with metadata
- ABSPATH guard so it can't be loaded directly
- Hooked to the right WooCommerce action
- Defensive checks before sending the email
- No external services, no tracking
Real builds include readme.txt, uninstall handler, license, and a settings panel when needed. This snippet is trimmed for the homepage.
<?php/** * Plugin Name: High-Value Order Alerts * Description: Email me when a WooCommerce order tops $500. * Version: 1.0.0 * License: GPLv2 */ defined('ABSPATH') || exit; add_action('woocommerce_order_status_processing', function ($order_id) { $order = wc_get_order($order_id); if (!$order || $order->get_total() < 500) return; wp_mail( get_option('admin_email'), sprintf('New $%s order: #%d', $order->get_total(), $order_id), sprintf("A high-value order just came in.\n\nCustomer: %s\nTotal: $%s", $order->get_billing_email(), $order->get_total() ) );});How it works
From “I wish my site could…” to a launched plugin — in six steps.
Describe it like you'd text a friend
"Email me when an order tops $500." "Show a discount badge if stock drops below 5." That's the input — no PHP, no hooks, no plugin scaffolding.
Approve the plan
We turn your idea into a clear scope: features, admin screens, settings, integrations, risk notes. You read it. You tweak it. You approve before any credits are spent.
Watch the agents build
Architecture → code generation → security review → QA → packaging. If QA flags something, a repair pass tries to fix it automatically.
Download and test
You get a clean, GPLv2-licensed, install-ready ZIP. Drop it into WordPress on a staging site and try it.
Iterate or publish
Need changes? Rebuild with feedback. Want it on WordPress.org? Generate the submission-ready package with one click.
Submit to WordPress.org or launch on your site
Hit the WordPress.org submission flow with one click, or upload the ZIP straight to your own site and watch your idea go live. Either way — party time.
Why BuildPlugins
Built for WordPress. Designed to actually be used.
No more plugin bloat
Stop installing 50-option plugins for one feature. Build the exact thing you need — nothing more, nothing tracking.
Speaks WooCommerce fluently
Order workflows, checkout notices, product rules, stock badges, custom reporting — built with the right hooks the first time.
You approve before anything builds
Scope review comes first. No surprise credits, no surprise features. You're always in the driver's seat.
QA + repair built in
Security, escaping, nonces, standards — checked automatically. If something's off, a repair agent tries to fix it before you download.
WordPress.org-ready
Submission package with polished readme.txt, GPLv2 license, uninstall handler, and .distignore. Built to the plugins team's exact standards.
Yours to keep, edit, and own
Clean, commented PHP. GPLv2 licensed. No runtime dependencies, no calling home. Open it in any editor and take it from there.
WordPress.org Ready
Don't just build a plugin. Ship one.
Every project gets an automated WordPress.org repository readiness review and a submission-ready package built to the plugins team's exact standards.
Repository readiness review
Automated review against WordPress.org guidelines: required readme sections, license compatibility, external service disclosures, naming, and security patterns.
Submission-ready package
ZIP with the correct folder structure, polished readme.txt, GPLv2 LICENSE, uninstall handler, and .distignore — all set up for WordPress.org review.
Guided SVN submission
Step-by-step SVN commands for your plugin slug, trunk/tags handling, asset uploads (screenshots, banners, icons), and a checklist for the WordPress.org plugins team.
After you ship
Listen to your users. Ship the next version.
Every plugin you build comes wired for a tight feedback loop — real ratings and feature requests from the people actually using it, plus a one-prompt path to release a new version.
Real-time feedback, right inside WordPress admin.
Every generated plugin ships with a privacy-safe feedback widget. Site owners give 1–5 star ratings, drop comments, and request features — without ever leaving wp-admin. Your dashboard aggregates the responses with WP version, PHP version, and locale badges.
- Three independent ways for site owners to opt out (admin notice, settings page, wp-config constant) — WP.org guideline-compliant.
- HMAC-signed transport. We never see the site URL, posts, users, customers, orders, media, or settings.
- Aggregate stats + recent comments shown on your project page automatically.
Add features in plain English. Even after WP.org submission.
Describe what you want to change. Our spec-update agent rewrites the spec, the build pipeline regenerates the code, the version number bumps automatically, and you get a fresh ZIP — ready to commit to your WordPress.org SVN tags/ folder as the next release.
- Same 12-agent build pipeline, same security & QA review on every release.
- Semver bump calculated from the change scope (patch, minor, or major) — no manual version juggling.
- Every project keeps a full version history. Roll-back to a previous build is one click.

Stuff people ask before they sign up.
No. If you can describe what you want your site to do in plain English — "send me an email when an order is over $500" — you can build a plugin. We turn your idea into a structured spec, build it, review it, and hand you an installable ZIP.
Your WordPress idea.
A real plugin, by tonight.
Single build at $15 to try it out — or subscribe for 20–200 builds per month. Always test on a staging site first — that's just good plugin etiquette.
