BC HTML Segments

When installed this plugin allows you to append “&bc_segment=header” or “&bc_segment=footer” to URLs and have WordPress only output the HTML that is rendered when the get_header() and get_footer() functions are called, respectively. This is particularly useful if you want to have another system look like it’s using the same site as the original, yet not actually be running WordPress.

For example, if you have a College Bookstore that does buyback, you could write all of the code and functionality of the buyback system into WordPress itself, or you could let WordPress do what it does best and create another system using whatever your favorite framework is on a subdomain. Then when it’s time to integrate your custom code into a working site, your system can just fetch the headers and footers from the parent WordPress site, and viola!, your custom site is indistinguishable from the parent site.
