How to Submit Your Plugin to Official WordPress [2]

After your application passes the audit, you will receive an official email from WordPress, content is shown as follow:

For Linux users, please refer to official help document

Below is for Windows users, who will use Subversion to finis.

1. Download and install subversion software, TortoiseSVN is recommend, reboot after installation.

2. Create a new folder, \SVN\WordPress\my-plugin-mane\ for instance.

3. Right-click the folder, select [SVN Checkout].

4. Fill the svn URL mentioned in the email, and click OK.

5. Then you can receive the document from server.

6. Go to truck, copy your plug-in document to this folder, then right-click the folder, select [SVN update].

7. Fill log information into the popped up Log Message window, then click submit.

8. Finally the login window pops up, fill in the relevant WordPress.org username and password.

You may have noticed that username and password are not required in check out, however, you need to provide them when checking in.

Attention:

Application version, installation instructions, FAQ and screenshots are set in readme.txt, the information of plugin page is generated from this document and automatically read by official. Detailed instructions of readme file can be found here, it’s a example file itself. Here is a validator which can be used to check if the readme document meets the requirement. After finishing editing and uploading readme, the official plug-in page will change accordingly (within 15 mins as said officially).

Other information like plug-in creator, plug-in mainpage and so on are defined on the php header of the plugin themselves. Plug-in creators should be familiar with this.

Finally, we suggest adding Stable tag: 1.0 into readme.txt under trunk folder, then create sub folder named the version under tags folder, and then put the stable version file into this sub folder, the path is like this:

/tags/1.0/my-plugin.php

Then users would stick to stable version regardless of frequent version modification.
