Add plugin to theme

  • Hey everyone!

    I’m working on a new theme and I want to add some features like a newsticker. These exist as plugins. Is it possible to add a plugin to my theme. With other words, is it possible to add a newsticker to my theme with the code from the plugin?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Yes it is. You can either take the code from the plugin and add it to your theme, but it’s much better to leave it as a plugin. Not sure why you want to integrate it in the theme.

    I wanted this so it’s a lot easier for someone to install my theme without having to install a bunch of plugins and configure them. Do I have to put the code of the plugin in my functions.php file or what, because I only made a few themes, I don’t have a lot of experience.
