FAQ

What happens when I delete the plugin?: Deleting Easy Dev Framework removes its framework settings and generated runtime files, including debug logs and compiled/cache files under its uploads directory. Dependent LAPDI plugins and their saved settings are not deleted, but they cannot run until Easy Dev Framework is installed and active again.
What is an Framework?: A framework provides a method of building software applications. Easy Dev is a framework for WordPress plugin development. Developers can use our simple framework instead of learning how to interface directly with WordPress. Easy Dev’s framework does all the hard work for you behind the scenes.
How do I use the framework? Where do I begin?: The project documentation and other LAPDI plugins provide working Easy Dev integration examples.
I’ve installed the plugin but nothing happens. What did I do wrong?: Nothing. The plugin runs in real-time behind the scenes. Once installed, there are no other steps to take. You use our plugin to build your own plugins.

Changelog

2.0.10

Branding: Replace primary logos and favicons

2.0.9

Cleanup: Register WordPress-native uninstall handling that removes framework settings and generated runtime files while preserving dependent plugins and their data.
Branding: Replace the legacy runtime icons and administration-page logo with the current LAPDI identity.

2.0.8

Branding. Present the plugin as LAPDI Easy Dev Framework so administrators can clearly identify its role as a shared dependency.
Packaging. Include Composer package metadata alongside the production dependencies required at runtime.
Documentation. Clarify the framework settings page and header labels, dependency purpose, and administrator/developer usage guidance.

2.0.7

Documentation. Keep required-plugin guidance generic; dependent plugins declare Easy Dev through their own Requires Plugins headers instead of maintaining a reverse-dependency list here.

2.0.6

Compliance. Resolve plugin locations through WordPress metadata instead of hardcoded directories, filenames or direct dependency includes.
Reliability. Use the real plugin basename so Easy Dev continues to work when its installation directory is renamed.
Reliability. Stop invoking the uninstall routine during activation and use each dependent plugin’s discovered basename when deactivation is required.
Reliability. Correct the reversed Smarty cache and compiled-template directory assignments.
Privacy and filesystem safety. Keep framework debug, Smarty cache and compiled files under the WordPress uploads directory.
Compatibility. Remove a PHP 8.5 parameter-order deprecation and enable TLS certificate verification by default for framework API requests.
Maintenance. Prefix Easy Dev’s internal instance, settings, upload-directory and autoloader identifiers while retaining the established public framework API for existing plugins.
Documentation. Replace obsolete lab links and remove development-only files from the release package.

2.0.5

Rebrand. Refreshed icons and admin styling; the LAPDI Plugins catalog page now reads its plugin list from a local registry instead of fetching a remote JSON file.
Compliance. Resolved all WordPress.org Plugin Check errors and warnings (missing ABSPATH guards, unescaped output, missing nonce verification, non-literal text-domain arguments, and more).
Maintenance. Corrected plugin tags/contributors for WordPress.org import, updated the donate link, and documented the Git-to-SVN release workflow.

2.0.4

Security. Updated bundled Smarty to 4.5 (from 3.1) to clear CVE-2024-35226 and Bootstrap to 4.6 (from 4.1.3) to clear CVE-2019-8331.
