Applying for your plugin to be hosted on WordPress.org
After creating proper documentation for your creation, the next step toward its publication on the official plugin repository is to apply for hosting. This is simply done by submitting a request form in the Developer Center section on WordPress.org.
How to do it...
Follow these steps to apply for plugin hosting on the official WordPress plugin repository:
- Create a zip archive containing your entire plugin directory, including the
readme.txt
file created in the previous recipe. - Visit the https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/add/ website and log in using the link in the top-right corner of the page or create a new account if you don't have one yet.
- Select your ZIP file and upload it to the site.
How it works...
Plugin submission is a fairly simple process, giving developers access to a Subversion repository that they can use to upload their work and share it with the community.
