Let's Build a WordPress Plugin From Scratch - 1. Intro & Setup

WordPress is notoriously opinionated about the way you need to code to be able to fit within it's ecosystem. Some people find WordPress development intimidating because you're essentially learning a whole new way of coding things. Even though PHP is used, WordPress uses a plethora of "hooks" (actions and filters) to allows plugin to extend core.

Learning how to build a WordPress plugin from scratch is very useful for when you need some custom functionality on your website or have an awesome idea you want to make a plugin with. Whatever you want to do with your WordPress plugin, this series will show you how to build a simple WordPress plugin and hopefully teach you the fundamentals of how WordPress plugins work and, obviously, how to build your own!

Join me for my new series which will be an ongoing series with potentially multiple videos posted each week.

I am going to create a public profile directory website using BuddyPress .
Users will register, then complete their profile, admin will check the information and manually approve them for the directory listing.
but the problem is, I don't want to waste my time checking incomplete profiles, also I don't know when they will complete their profile, today or a few weeks later.
so I need a submit biodata button under BuddyPress save button. after filling the required fields, the user will be able to click this submit button. admin will be able to see them separately from incomplete profiles.
I don't know how to do this. please help
