How are plugins parsed?

  • Hi all

    Trying to understand the parsing processes of plugins, please help me?

    It seems to me that all “plugin code” is parsed at every page/post/backend request, is that correct?

    I noticed this when building an backed plugin that created warnings in the front-end, that confuses me. I want my back-end plug code to run, yes in the backend.

    Or if I want a plugin on the frontpage, does all the code get parsed on pages and other post_types?

    all the best // Johannes

    No. A well written plugin will control code execution so that only certain functions are run in Admin and others are run on the public pages.
