In our FavePersonal theme we integrated the excellent Social plugin from MailChimp and included an option to turn it on or off. Most importantly we did it in a way that still allows the Social plugin to be installed and updated independently. We made sure that we implemented this in a manner that: respected users’…

Carrington Core1 loads template files through a function rather than including them directly within the global scope. This means that global variables need to be explicitly brought into scope rather than just being there and available to you. I’ve considered this a feature, because it means that you’re much less likely to stomp on an…
