Bio

I’m Frank Stemmler, a WordPress developer from Nickenich in Germany. I have been building with WordPress since 2010 and write plugins when the thing I need does not exist yet.

The four plugins here are the free versions of tools I use in client work. LinkTrade Monitor started because I kept checking exchanged links by hand. 3task Glossary grew from a client who needed an A-Z glossary that links itself inside running text. 3task Calendar handles events with bookings, and 3task Polls counts votes without setting a cookie, so it needs no consent banner.

I build with GeneratePress and write my own child themes instead of using page builders. Whatever I publish runs on my own sites first: a film database, a recipe portal and a health project, all on the same stack.

Happy to answer questions about any of the plugins in the support forums.

WordPress Origin Story

A client in 2010 asked me to fix a site built with a page builder that could not be updated any more. I rebuilt it in WordPress over a weekend, and that was that.

What kept me here is the part most people complain about: WordPress does not decide things for you. I can write a plugin for one specific problem and ship it the same day, without waiting for a vendor roadmap.

The ones I publish here are those that turned out to be useful for more than one client.
