Plugin Review Update – May 8

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 Status Change Stats

  • Plugins requested : 114
  • Plugins rejected : 28
  • Plugins closed : N/A
  • Plugins approved : 27

Note: Rejected and Approved are manually calculated. The numbers look low, but when compared to last year, it appears that May is always a dip low.

It’s important to note that there is a direct correlation between the lower submissions and our lower rejections. We no longer reject after 7 days which means our pending number goes up, but the total submissions drops. People don’t have to resubmit, basically.
