Safely Customize WordPress
Child Themes & Plugins
Protect your code customizations with an update-safe Clip.
What is a Clip?
A Clip is a plugin-activated directory of ancillary custom files which can be used to safely customize WordPress installed child themes and plugins. Clips are designed for savvy developers gearing their websites for worry-free updates, ongoing customizations and code protection.

What are the benefits?
-
Protection from all theme and plugin updates
A Clip is maintained in an isolated plugin directory, ensuring your code customizations are completely protected from theme and plugin updates. -
Safely customize Genesis and other framework themes
Clips are perfect for customizing themes of base / starter frameworks such as Genesis, where the child theme may be updated instead of the parent. -
Starter plugin is tiny at approx 6kb in size (zipped)
The WP Clips starter plugin contains only the custom Clip template and a couple of skinny plugin files. But, it's a bantam packing a heavyweight punch! -
Plays well with others and doesn't it love the company
Add 'performance tools' from W3 Total Cache and 'syntax highlighting' with Advanced Code Editor, and see how well these three play together. -
Translation-ready and update-easy with one file
The starter plugin comes with a translatable POT file. Simply update the file with your translation plugin to include your custom and precoded Clips! -
Easy and speedy to back-up, copy and transfer
