I’ve been playing with Piklist while I try to understand it and so far created a plugin that does nothing – but does at least activate without any errors, which is a major success so far.
I found the in the user area, the data is being pulled from both the plugin that I have created and a folder in the theme ‘piklist’.
My question is once I have some of the structure set up for the plugin, that pretty much reflects the element in the theme folder, should I completely remove this file?
At the moment I am using it for reference as I only have brief moments to dip in and play.
This is the folder that Piklist created on activation in my theme: wp-content/themes/striking_r/piklist/

You need to decide where you want your code to go… in your theme, or in a plugin. Usually you want it in a plugin, so it’s portable and you can then use any theme.
Does that makes sense?

Basically a complete piklist. Hey I don’t recall doing so but may well have done, I thought the code I copied was the demo stuff to an earlier attempt at a plugin which didn’t work, will have been my error somewhere.
In that case I will copy the contents to the plugin I created and remove it from the theme, I can then edit/remove parts in there.
Thanks Steve, I will get there with this – eventually!
