Missing Plugin Hooks in WordPress Themes

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

One of the really nice things about WordPress is that anyone can create WordPress themes.

But be careful, because you could break WordPress plugins if you miss out on a couple of important things.

One of them is missing template plugin hooks.

Many plugins depend on wp_head(), wp_footer(), wp_meta() and comment_form() being called in the templates. If […]

Ta-da!!!
