I am trying to figure out how a plugin works. The plugin essentially places social media icons into a header file (it is a Genesis themed plugin). At any rate, the plugin’s PHP file has this language:
'email' => array(
'label' => __( 'Email URI', 'ssiw' ),
'pattern' => '<li class="social-email"><a href="%s" %s>✉</a></li>',
I understand that this is a link but I can’t figure out how to translate it. I thought that it might be a form of PHP argument swapping but researching that topic didn’t really help. Can anyone shed any light on this href call?
Later on in the loading of the application it’s going to leverage the
patternportion of the array and perform string replacement where you see%s. You might see something like this later:
