WordPress plugins · made in plain English
Build the WordPress plugin you actually need.
Describe it in plain English, get a plugin you can install today. Build something new, add features to a plugin you already own, or let your users vote on what comes next — no developer required.
Things people ask us to build
Three ways to use BuildPlugins.ai
Choose your path
Build a new plugin
Describe what you need in plain English. You get a complete WordPress plugin — security reviewed, quality checked, and ready to install on your site or submit to WordPress.org.
Add features to a plugin you already have
Upload an existing plugin ZIP — ours or anyone's — and describe what to add. We patch only what you asked for, verify every change against the original, and hand back an updated ZIP. Your existing code stays intact.
Add a feedback tab to any plugin — free
An optional add-on, not part of every build. Upload any plugin ZIP — built here or brought from anywhere — and we inject a feedback tab in seconds. Your users vote on feature ideas, you stay in full control. No rebuild, no obligation.
Not just a code generator
You get a product team, not a prompt.
Most people describing a plugin leave things out — and most experts are too close to their own spec to notice the gaps. Our agents fill them the way a good team would, then show you the plan before you spend anything.
Product manager
Turns your description into a real feature list, spots what you did not think to ask for, and tells you what it added and why — so you can say no.
Interface designer
Designs the actual screens: where settings live, what you see before there is any data, and how you know an action worked. The states most generated plugins skip.
Senior WordPress developer
Writes idiomatic PHP against WordPress conventions — capability checks, nonces, sanitised input — then a security review and QA pass before anything is packaged.
You approve the plan first. Before any build starts you see how your plugin will work: the screens, what your visitors see, the step-by-step journeys, and anything we suggest adding. Change it as many times as you like — revising the plan is free.
Describe your pluginWhat 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 anything is 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.
Collect feedback and iterate
Your users submit feature requests inside wp-admin. You approve the good ones. Votes climb toward a threshold — when it's hit, one click starts the next build.
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.
QA + repair built in
Security, escaping, nonces, WP coding standards — all checked automatically. If something's off, a repair agent tries to fix it before you ever see a download link.
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 costs, no surprise features. You're always in the driver's seat.

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.
Switch on a real feature-request loop for any plugin — tick one box when you approve a build, or add it to a plugin you already have. Users submit ideas, you approve the good ones, votes climb toward a threshold, and the next build ships when the signal is strong.
Submit, approve, vote, threshold.
The widget collects nothing personal. Site owners submit feature requests, you approve or reject them, and voters help the best ideas cross the threshold. The dashboard keeps the request history, vote counts, expiry, and reminder state in sync.
Submitted 2 h ago · pending your review
Threshold reached → auto-notifies you to rebuild
- Feature requests stay approval-gated before votes count.
- Voter hashes stay stable without storing raw user data.
- Threshold reminders and expiry handling keep requests fresh.
Rebuild from approved requests.
When a request crosses the vote threshold, the next build can be retried directly from the project page. That keeps your roadmap tied to real demand instead of guesswork.
- 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.
Pricing
One build or a monthly plan. You choose.
Start with a $15 single build to try it out, or subscribe for 20–200 builds per month. Build first, pay to download. Failed builds never charge you.
No surprises
What you get for one build.
A feature is one distinct thing your plugin does. “Email me when an order is over $500” is one feature. Adding “and show a badge when stock drops below 5” makes two. We work your features out from your description, rate each one, and show you the list before anything is built.
Up to 10 features
in a single build — around 20 if they are simple, 7 if they are unusually complex.
One Single Build, $15
covers the full size a build supports. No upcharge for using all of it.
Subscriptions scale
a plugin up to ~4 moderate features uses one build; larger ones use two or three.
You always see how your plugin measures up while you are still choosing features — before anything is spent — and exactly how many builds it will use before you approve it. Failed builds are refunded automatically and never count against your quota.
