Question: Best workflow for adding wordpress plugins to polymer-theme? #5

I apologize if this sounds like a pretty novice question... (It's been a long time since I've worked w/ wordpress directly. Fusing Polymer and Wordpress together brings up the question on the best way to fuse custom elements w/ wordpress plugins.

Adding in a plugin from the Wordpress.org Directory or... Adding in a custom element from the Webcomponents.org Directory

How would you go about using a Wordpress plugin inside a custom element?

For example, if I wanted to add the MailChimp Wordpress Plugin, is there a default place that these plugins would show up in your theme?

Hi @oneezy !

I've been working pretty hard in this project for the last month and I've made some heavy changes. Thinking about the questions you made me, I think that is very difficult adding WP's plugins inside a custom element. I was trying to figure out how to make a plugin to handle web components installations, but I found some troubles handling bower conflicts.

Anyway, I'll really appreciate if you can give to this new version a try and tell me yours thoughts about it. I've added as well, tones of documentation. I hope you find it useful.

Awesome @trofrigo ! I'll definitely give it a go.

I'm super busy right now, so I apologize if you don't immediately hear back from me. But when I get some time I'll definitely take it for a spin.
