Can You Add Custom Code to a WordPress Site?

Custom code is a big part of the WordPress platform. Whether you’re a developer who wants to add some extra functionality to your site or a WordPress user who wants to customize their site to their own liking, custom code is a great way to do it.

Custom code can be added to your site in a few different ways. First, you can use the built-in WordPress functions to do things like add a new post or create a new custom post type.

Second, you can use the WordPress codex to learn about the various WordPress functions and use them to build custom code snippets for your site.

Third, you can use the plugin ecosystem to find plugins that provide custom code functionality. For example, the popular Jetpack plugin provides a range of custom code features, including custom post types and custom taxonomies.

Finally, you can use the custom code features provided by third-party plugins. This is the route that I took when I created the Custom Fields plugin, which provides a range of custom code features for customizing your site’s forms.

All in all, custom code is a great way to add extra functionality or customize your WordPress site to your own liking.
