The New Directory Is (Mostly) Live

Sorry about the post-facto notice, there were a lot of moving parts and we got some things out of order when communicating between the multiple teams.

Current Status

  • Pending plugins are imported
  • Approved (but not yet committed) plugins are being imported
  • Rejected plugins have not yet been imported (though they will be … all 23k of them)

Known Issues

Beside everything listed on Meta Trac, we are aware of the following issues:

  • HeaderHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. images are pixelated
  • PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party submissions are disabled

Plugin Submissions are Currently Closed

THERE ARE NO PLUGIN APPROVALS GOING ON AT THIS TIME

You can’t submit a new one for approval, and we won’t be approving anything until possibly tomorrow at the earliest.

I will post here (make/plugins) as soon as we reopen and start things moving along, but please don’t ask for a status update. If it’s not posted here, we don’t have one, and you’ll just make everything take longer.

Plugins Will No Longer Be Rejected After Seven Days

Before you panic, we’re not going to reject plugins after 7 days anymore. The queue will be handled differently so having old plugins with no replies is less of a problem. Also? We’ll be able to rename your plugin slug before approval, so that will take care of most things like `google-analytics-by-faro` 😁 and other obvious typos.

However. This means the onus is now even more on you to make sure you whitelist emails from `wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/` in your email servers. A high volume of people never see the first email (the ‘please fix’) and only see the followup of 7-days, so now you won’t be getting that anymore.
