Custom plugins — in the context of WordPress plugin search — typically refers to tools that help site owners add custom functionality without writing or managing a traditional plugin file. This includes code snippet managers that let you safely add custom PHP, JavaScript, or CSS to WordPress without editing theme files, as well as tools for creating custom post types, custom fields, custom user roles, and custom database tables through a graphical interface. These plugins are invaluable for developers who want to keep site-specific customisations separate from themes and plugins, and for non-developers who need controlled ways to extend WordPress behaviour. Popular examples in this space include code snippet plugins, custom post type builders, and advanced custom fields managers.
