Beginners guide to building WordPress Plugins with AI (the no code way).

👉 If you’d like me to release the video scrub to scroll plugin for free, drop a “Yes please” in the comments!

In this video, I’ll:
✅ Demo the plugin in action (a brand-new “Video Scrubbing” feature for the Cover block)
✅ Walk you through the 5-step process I used to create it
✅ Show you how YOU can build unique and useful WordPress plugins without writing a single line of code

This is a simple, powerful workflow that opens up endless possibilities for WordPress creators.
