How Do I Make a Calculator in WordPress?
Making a calculator in WordPress is easy. All you need is a plugin and a custom post type. The calculator plugin is available at the WordPress Plugin repository.
The custom post type is called “Calculator”. The plugin registers the custom post type when it is installed and sets up all the necessary hooks.
To create a calculator in WordPress, first create a new file in your theme called calculator.php. The file should contain the following code:
__( ‘Calculator’), ‘description’ => __( ‘Create a calculator in WordPress’), ‘public’ => true, ‘public_read’ => true, ‘hierarchical’ => false, ‘rewrite’ => false, ‘required’ => true, ‘tax_class’ => ‘ taxation_calculator_post_type ‘, ‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘custom-fields’, ‘custom-taxonomies’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘calculator’, ‘tag’ => ‘calculators’ )));.
The first line of code requires the Calculator plugin. The second line registers the Calculator custom post type.
The remaining lines of code define the properties of the custom post type.
The most important property is public. This property determines whether the calculator is visible to the public or only to registered users.
The other properties are listed in the table below.
Property Description public Determines whether the calculator is public or not. public_read Determines whether users can read the calculator. hierarchical Determines whether the calculator is a hierarchical post type. rewrite Determines whether the calculator can be edited by users. required Determines whether the calculator requires registration.
tax_class Determines the tax class for the calculator. supports Determines which content types the calculator supports. slug Determines the slug for the calculator. tag Determines the tag for the calculator.
Now you need to create a post for the calculator. The post should have the following properties:
Title : The title of the calculator
: The title of the calculator Description : The description of the calculator
: The description of the calculator Slug : The slug for the calculator
: The slug for the calculator Taxonomy : The taxonomy for the calculator
: The taxonomy for the calculator Author : The author of the calculator
: The author of the calculator Published : determines whether the calculator is published or not
: determines whether the calculator is published or not Category: The category for the calculator
To create the post, simply click on the “Create a new post” button on the WordPress toolbar and enter the required information.
The completed calculator should look like the following:
Title: Calculator
Description: Create a calculator in WordPress
Slug: calculator
Taxonomy: Calculators
