Hire Me Status Widget

Description

Easily display if you are available for hire using this widget. Useful for freelance developers like me.

Contributing and reporting bugs

You can contribute code to this plugin via GitHub: https://github.com/seb86/Hire-Me-Status-Widget and localizations via Transifex: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/hire-me-status-widget/

Support

Use the WordPress.org forums for community support – I cannot offer support directly for free. If you spot a bug, you can of course log it on Github instead where I can act upon it more efficiently.

If you want help with customisation, hire me if I am available or hire another developer!

I like stars. Just a simple review from you will help me gain more stars. It only takes a moment of your time.

Installation

Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t even need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install, log in to your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.

In the search field type “Hire Me Status Widget” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found the plugin you can view details about it such as the the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by clicking Install Now.

Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading the plugin and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application.

  • Download the plugin file to your computer and unzip it
  • Using an FTP program, or your hosting control panel, upload the unzipped plugin folder to your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  • Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu within the WordPress admin.

Setup

Once the plugin is installed and activated, go to “Appearance” then, “Widgets”. Then just simply configure the built-in widget options.
