Jason Adams from Impress.org has published, thus far, a nice three-part introduction series on PHP object orientated design patterns. https://impress.org/what-are-design-patterns-and-why-should-you-use-them/ https://impress.org/use-value-objects-to-keep-your-sanity-and-values-honest/ https://impress.org/smart-object-creation-with-the-abstract-factory-design-pattern/ I recommend checking them out if OOP in PHP is an interest to you and if you want to start upgrading your skills with your code.

Developing GiveWP and GiveWP extensions

Remove post type slugs from permalinks
One question that comes up semi-regularly with my support work for Custom Post Type UI is how to remove the post type slug from a given permalink.
