Description
This plugin was created for use in cubecolour website projects to include a collection of modules, each of which can be enabled and configured in the Caboodle panel in the WordPress customizer.
This plugin is designed to be as lightweight as possible, and none of the modules load jQuery on the front end.
The plugin’s configuration can be exported/imported as a JSON file, so once you have a preferred configuration, this can be used on multiple websites.
