BPOVIA Website Design

You may regard the plugin submission as a piece cake especially when you have achieved creating it, however, the fact is, submitting your plugin is much more complicated than is imagined.

BPOVIA Team has created a log of plugins, some of which have been submitted to official WordPress, then let’s take a look at how we accomplish that.

First of all, why submit plugins to official WordPress?

• You plugins will not be found in official plugin directory until they have been submitted, which means that if you want your plugins to enjoy a high popularity in users, you need to submit them.
• There is no space and bandwith limit for WordPress official plugin library, compared with putting them on your own website, you don’t need to worry about any running issue when they are being over-downloaded.
• With the help of SVN Subversion provided by WordPress.org, you can easily update and maintain the plugins.
• You can also track the number of your plugins’ uploads, users’ feedback will be handed to you.

Secondly, it’s time to deliver your application.

• Create an account on wordpress.org.
• Finish the application form on http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add, then keep waiting for manual audit, then you will receive your account informaion.

Tips: When you fill the form:

• You cannot change the name of your plugin after application, so think twice about it.
• However, the plugin description can be modified as you wish.
• Regarding Plugin URL field, fill it in with the relevant release page on your blog, or leave it blank if you don’t have.

It is not hard to pass the auditing, often 1 to 2 business days will be enough, then you will receive an email from WordPress, attaching the URL information you will use in submitting your plugin.
