  • PHP Developer

    Cache Any Expensive Result With One Function

    Adds a wpide_remember() helper that returns a cached value if there is one, or runs your function, stores the result for a set time and returns it, which makes caching slow queries and API calls a one-liner.

  • PHP Plugin Integrations

    Check Your Own Form Submissions With Akismet

    Adds a wpide_akismet_is_spam() helper that sends a name, email and message from any custom form to Akismet and tells you whether it looks like spam, so your hand-built forms get the same protection as comments.

  • PHP Developer

    Measure How Long Code Takes

    Adds wpide_timer_start() and wpide_timer_stop() helpers that measure the time and memory a piece of code uses and write the result to the PHP error log, to find slow functions.

  • PHP Developer

    Private Log File Helper Function

    Adds a wpide_log() helper that writes timestamped messages and data to a daily log file in a protected folder inside uploads, so custom code can leave a trail without touching debug.log.

  • PHP Developer

    Run a Task Later Helper Function

    Adds a wpide_run_later() helper that schedules any hook to run once after a delay, without creating duplicates, so slow work like sending a report or calling an API can leave the page request.

  • SCSS Frontend & Design

    Spacing Utility Classes (SCSS)

    Generates margin and padding helper classes such as mt-2, mb-4 and px-3 from a spacing scale, to fine-tune block spacing with an extra CSS class.

  • PHP Developer

    Subtitle Field for Posts

    Adds a "Subtitle" box to the post editor, saves it securely and provides a [wpide_subtitle] shortcode and a helper to display it in your theme.
