WordPress API Cheat Sheets

A potentially useful resource for any WordPress plugin or theme developer out there who might like a quick and easy reference to the large number of WordPress functions. The original site is in German, but it handily provides Babelfish links for translations.


So that the work with WordPress is a little simpler, at least when writing Plugins or providing a Themes I looked for already for a long time suitable Cheat Sheets for my work with WP. Unfortunately I became never so correctly fuendig and I work usually with the responsible sides.

Since I belong however to the “old” term, I prefer reading material in papierform and all relevant tags for the PluginAPI and the Theme tags on two sides brought myself.

Perhaps it can use or others likewise, then much joy thereby.

All Theme tags can be reread just as again on the contribution “WP – WordPress Template tagsoverview”, and/or the on the left of are listed there to closer descriptions.

Okay, so that didn’t make too much sense, but I think you can get the gist of it. He provides two PDF cheat sheets: one for plugin developers and one for theme developers. You shouldn’t need any translations to figure out how to get those.

Update: I’ve found two native-English cheat sheets, again for plugin and for theme developers, made by Sean Hickey. These look to be very similar to the German ones, but don’t have German words sprinkled all over them and thus might be more user-friendly to English speakers.
