Jetpack Secrets: Theme Tools, Actions and Filters, and other little known facts

What knowledge level should an attendee have?

Intermediate to advanced

What knowledge should an attendee walk away with?

Jetpack has a lot of goodies hidden in it for developers; we’ll take a look at some examples of things that can be used by theme developers, freelancers, and site-tinkerers (like me!).

What is the talk about?

Jetpack comes loaded with filters and actions in almost every module, that let developers modify the default behaviour. It also comes with many theme tools that can be used when building a theme, whether it is a custom theme for a client, or a free or premium theme that you will sell or distribute. I’ll also have some fun new thing to reveal to all who attend!

Why are you passionate about this talk?

Whenever a theme developer tells me “I have saved so much time by using the tools included in Jetpack”, I always wish that everyone knew about them! There are so many useful bits of code, I’m sure that there’s something for everyone who uses Jetpack. I’m excited to help people find the bits that will help them the most!
