Refreshed — What It Means for Developers </a></h2><p>Matt just <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/news/2012/05/plugins-refreshed/">announced on the WordPress Blog</a> — and many of you have already noticed — a number of recent changes to the plugin directory, profiles, and the support forums. Now let’s go into detail all of the individual changes, and what it means for plugin developers.</p> <h3>Design refresh for plugin pages.</h3> <p>We’re glad to see so many of you use the <strong>plugin headers</strong> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/been-giving-a-lot-of-thought-to-how/">we launched in December</a>. Now, we’ve provided a further refresh. We’ve made authors much more prominent and with bigger Gravatars and better placement, and cleaned up the styles for the ratings, support, and compatibility sections. There’s a great <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/news/2012/05/plugins-refreshed/">before-after shot in the announcement post</a>.</p> <h3>Support is now integrated into your plugin page.</h3> <p>In the past, creating new support topics for plugins has been special, and not in a particularly good way. It had this specialness by overloading the tags in the support forums to indicate that a thread was about a particular plugin. No longer. We’ve promoted plugins up a notch and given them their own area.</p> <p>So now, on your plugin pages, you’ll see a “Support” menu in the header, and you’ll see the topics for that plugin in that tab. You’ll also find a submission form at the bottom of that tab, to add new support topics specifically for your plugin. Topics about plugins made from here get a special sidebar with links to the plugin, to the plugin’s FAQ page, and to the list of Support Threads for that plugin.</p> <p>While this section looks like it’s on the Plugin’s page, it’s not really. These support threads are actually in the same place they’ve always been, in the Support forums. What you’re seeing as far as the look and feel of that view of the support forums is just some clever trickery on our part. <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley"/> </p> <p>Akismet, for example, will have it’s “support forums” at this URL: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/akismet">http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/akismet</a>.</p> <h3>How to follow support threads for your plugins.</h3> <p>You may want to take advantage of this by subscribing to the RSS feed for your plugin: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/support/rss/plugin/akismet">http://wordpress.org/support/rss/plugin/akismet</a>. Email subscriptions are not available for these yet, but we will be adding them this week.</p> <p>For plugin authors who have been using them, the old convenience views of plugin-committers and plugin-contributors are still there as well. (Committers are managed in on the Admin tab, while contributors are taken from readme.txt.) We’ll be exposing these links in more places, but you can use them with URLs similar to the following: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-committer/Otto42">http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-committer/Otto42</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-committer/Otto42">http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-contributor/Otto42</a>. (RSS feeds exist <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/support/rss/view/plugin-committer/Otto42">for</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/support/rss/view/plugin-contributor/Otto42">these</a> as well.)</p> <h3>Support statistics are now shown to users.</h3> <p>You’ll notice a new area on the plugin page sidebar showing information about how many topics there are for your plugin, and how many of them have been marked as resolved. These are handy for users to see if questions are likely to get a response.</p> <p>You have had the ability to mark plugin support threads as resolved for some time now. It’s now really easy — you can mark a thread as resolved while making a post with a simple checkbox. Note that the user who opened the thread can also mark threads as resolved and unresolved. Threads that are marked “Not a support question,” such as suggestions or feedback, are <em>not</em> counted toward these stats and do not need to be marked resolved.</p> <p>Statistics will be based on a rolling two-month period, based on when the thread was opened. Currently, the statistics cover threads opened in the last two weeks, and will continue to increase until it reaches two months, to allow you some time to resolve existing threads.</p> <h3>Managing your forum with sticky topics.</h3> <p>You can now make threads “sticky” threads to the top of your plugin’s support forum, just like the other forums on WordPress.org. (You’ll find a link “Stick topic to this plugin’s support forum” in the sidebar.) Threads marked as sticky will show at the top of your plugin’s Support tab. (They won’t be sticky on the regular forums.) We hope you find this handy for posting FAQs or other important information about your plugin.</p> <h3>A new section for developers.</h3> <p>Every plugin now has a Developers tab where you can find links for browsing the code in Subversion, the development log, and development versions. Here, you can now <strong>subscribe to get an email whenever a commit is made to a plugin repository</strong>, even if it isn’t yours. (You will of course continue to receive commits for your own plugins.)</p> <h3>Favoriting plugins.</h3> <p>As I’m sure you’ve now seen, plugins can now be favorited by logged-in users — and have been more than 2,000 times since we soft-launched this feature earlier in the week! When you favorite a plugin, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://profiles.wordpress.org/Otto42">it gets added to your profile</a>. And if you’ve also rated that plugin, your rating gets shown.</p> <p>We expect to do a lot more with all of this in the future — favorites, plugins, support, and profiles. Until next time, we hope you enjoy these changes as much as we do!</p> <p><em>— written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://profiles.wordpress.org/nacin">Nacin</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://profiles.wordpress.org/Otto42">Otto</a>, and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://profiles.wordpress.org/coffee2code">Scott</a></em></p> </div> <div class="discussion" style="display: none"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://www.amplemoney.com/wordpress-3-5-is-released/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">WordPress 3.5 is released | Ample Money Online</a>, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/07be247e700a7c7e5630214c40ae4098?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> Marcel, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/f071e400117d20cd95eb5a0bac7584ca?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://www.s4strategy.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">zorro1965</a>, and 12 others are discussing. <a href="#" class="show-comments">Toggle Comments</a> </p> </div> <div class="bottom-of-entry"> </div> <ul id="comments-22" class="commentlist inlinecomments"> <li id="comment-3" class="comment even thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/9a2a63aba6e0e894c2f42752d974be28?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://www.adrotateplugin.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Arnan de Gans</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2012-05-21T17:15:52Z">5:15 pm <em>on</em> May 21, 2012</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/19/plugin-directory-refreshed-what-it-means-for-developers/#comment-3" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/19/plugin-directory-refreshed-what-it-means-for-developers/#respond" title="Reply" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("commentcontent-3", "3", "respond", "22")">Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-3" class="commentcontent"><p>Seriously?<br/> So i guess you’ve just rendered my own forum useless?

Your “plugin page” is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/your-plugin/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/your-plugin/</a> — while it may provide you traffic to your own site, it’s designed to be a dedicated and trusted area for users. If plugin authors don’t keep up with support topics on WordPress.org, we can no longer glean any statistics, and it is more difficult for users to identify which plugins are supported. I have been really happy to see so many users already benefit from the new tools we are giving developers. That’s a win-win to me.</p> <p>We think — and I think you probably agree — that these changes provide a far better experience for individuals looking for help. By choosing to have two support forums, you’ve already fragmented the experience for your users. (I imagine they even need to create a second account to simply provide feedback or ask a question.) Now you are experiencing this same thing for yourself.</p> <p>We may consider the ability to specify a location for support in the future, but we’d like to try this out for a while. And at least on WordPress.org, we can also guarantee your users will be greeted with the proper spelling of WordPress. <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" class="wp-smiley"/> </p> </div> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-10" class="comment byuser comment-author-jb510 even depth-3"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/f1c8858594659f20b4e99d65d0855f7c?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/jb510/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Jon Brown</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2012-05-22T04:20:55Z">4:20 am <em>on</em> May 22, 2012</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/19/plugin-directory-refreshed-what-it-means-for-developers/#comment-10" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/19/plugin-directory-refreshed-what-it-means-for-developers/#respond" title="Reply" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("commentcontent-10", "10", "respond", "22")">Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-10" class="commentcontent"><p>Nacin – While that seems sensible on the surface, many plugins don’t lend themselves to a single forum for support and plugin author’s who’ve built forums with multiple topics… </p> <p>For example I note that both BuddyPress and bbPress link out to their own forums…. as they should since trying to answer the myriad of support requests under a single tag would be a nightmare.

Whilst I do value being able to support on WP and agree that ideally (but may not be realistic) support should be on wp.org, I don’t think statistics is a productive feature, at least as it stands right now.</p> <p>Constructive criticism below:</p> <p>Take my (the author’s) point of view and my plugin – <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/</a></p> <p>The wp support forum is usually visited at least once a day during the week. I myself go through this plugin support forum every weekday when possible, yet as it stands right now the stats are:</p> <p>15 of 84 support threads in the last three weeks have been resolved.</p> <p>However, look at the forum, and you’ll see they’ve pretty much all been answered by me or angelonwl.</p> <p>There’s a few issues here right off the bat:</p> <ul> <li>Various questions get resolved by the opener somehow, but the topic never gets updated.</li> <li>Some things are just unreasonable to ask from the author (i.e. how do I completely change this plugin to do what I want?), yet they count as an unresolved question.</li> <li>Various questions aren’t support questions.</li> </ul> <p>I’m sure there’s more, but the above is already enough to, in my opinion, make this a misleading bit of information.</p> <p>As an author, I’m now expected to keep track of 3 weeks of questions, and resolve them proactively, since <50% (way less) of users will update tickets when they resolve things themselves.

I think this is unreasonable, and whilst I don't mind making do, I think this will decrease the overall experience in WP, with some immediate downfalls:</p> <ul> <li>Good plugins will likely get misleading support stats.</li> <li>This will likely dishearten many authors, meaning less quality plugins being made for WP.</li> <li>I’m sure you’ll see on the forum a “hey my issue isnt’ resolved!” because it’ll become tempted to resolve every topic one answers.</li> </ul> <p>I think the most important thing for you to implement to make this work would be some sort of auto-approve or nullify tickets that the creator doesn’t keep on top of (e.g. it becomes not a support question if the author doesn’t reply to our reply in say a week).

Great work over there!</p> <p>I do want to make a request though. PLEASE give plugin developers the ability to use their own external support forums. That is, please make it possible (perhaps through a readme.txt file), for developers to use an external support forum system of their own.</p> <p>Many of the best plugins thrive on support, and you can’t expect us to operate our support departments within an outline set forth by WordPress.org. That is, we can’t be expected to use the support system that WordPress.org uses (we need to use what works for us).</p> <p>I, like many other plugin developers, have my own administrative system, support forum system, along with employees to assist me. As the plugin directory exists now, all support is expected to take place at WordPress.org, which is just not realistic. This is only going to result in people getting the wrong impression about plugins in your directory, because they’re looking for (and expecting) support from the forums at WordPress.org. When, in reality, the support for many plugins occurs offsite. Let’s give plugin developers the ability to direct WordPress site owners to the proper location.</p> </div> </li> <li id="comment-11" class="comment byuser comment-author-myatu even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/4cb8eb41a71d7d6228969ae9da2f793d?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://www.myatus.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Myatu</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2012-05-22T06:40:24Z">6:40 am <em>on</em> May 22, 2012</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/19/plugin-directory-refreshed-what-it-means-for-developers/#comment-11" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/19/plugin-directory-refreshed-what-it-means-for-developers/#respond" title="Reply" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("commentcontent-11", "11", "respond", "22")">Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-11" class="commentcontent"><p>Couple things…</p> <p>Is there a way to see how many people have actually marked a plugin as their favorite, and optionally, who?</p> <p>Also, I’d really like to see the email subscriptions for support threads back again, the sooner the better. </p> <p>As for support itself goes, that needs some work with respect to what the plugin developer wants (better said, can do). I can understand your point about the consistency in user experience across WordPress plugins and an ability to measure plugin quality, but at the same time, what if a plugin developer would like – or already uses – a ticket system, provides phone support, use their own forum or simply use good ‘ol email, then what? There’s currently no method to integrate that with WordPress.org’s plugin listings, nor do they count toward the quality measurements. </p> <p>Something to consider perhaps, is improve the way users can vote on a plugin. More often than not, people do not vote. They install, and use it. Don’t like it, uninstall. That’s it. So, if a user uninstalls, why not ask them “Why are you uninstalling this plugin?” – plugin developers and the community could do with that sort of feedback. And voting from within the WordPress plugins page would be another option, though some care has to be taken to avoid someone using a “bot” on that (which is detectable, and could perhaps be reason for removal).</p> </div> </li> <li id="comment-117" class="comment byuser comment-author-mikechallis odd alt thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/f3fdcb2aa47cff0320a248880c50820a?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/MikeChallis/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Mike Challis</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2012-05-25T18:14:28Z">6:14 pm <em>on</em> May 25, 2012</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/19/plugin-directory-refreshed-what-it-means-for-developers/#comment-117" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/19/plugin-directory-refreshed-what-it-means-for-developers/#respond" title="Reply" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("commentcontent-117", "117", "respond", "22")">Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-117" class="commentcontent"><p>As a plugin author, I now have the ability to make a sticky post.

The guidelines will now allow code that is licensed under (or compatible with) version 3 of the GPL.</p> <p>The guidelines still encourage use of “GPLv2 or later,” the same license as WordPress. However, we understand that many open source libraries use other licenses that are nonetheless compatible, such as GPLv2 only, GPLv3, and Apache 2.0.</p> <p>Now may be a good time for plugin authors to review their plugins to ensure a license is specified. You can add License and License URI headers to readme.txt and the plugin’s headers. (You may also wish to include a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html">copying permission statement</a>.) For example:</p> <pre>License: GPLv2 or later License URI: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html</a></pre> <p>You can see this used in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/readme.txt">sample readme.txt</a>.</p> <p>This change brings the guidelines in line with the themes directory, which has for some time accepted GPLv3-compatible code. (Probably a good time to note that Creative Commons licenses are still incompatible with the GPL, and the theme and plugin directories.)</p> </div> <div class="discussion" style="display: none"> <p> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/e88a1983138d1be39632921052248b36?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> anantpathak, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/a7cec6f544a045ec3048928f8f253dd1?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://www.plusxpert.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Nedim</a>, and <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/fab172fe94ced356d4129870b1ee2acf?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> hawkins.barry are discussing. <a href="#" class="show-comments">Toggle Comments</a> </p> </div> <div class="bottom-of-entry"> </div> <ul id="comments-7" class="commentlist inlinecomments"> <li id="comment-8032" class="comment byuser comment-author-hawkinsbarry even thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/fab172fe94ced356d4129870b1ee2acf?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> hawkins.barry <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2012-10-25T17:57:12Z">5:57 pm <em>on</em> October 25, 2012</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/11/cross-posted-from-the-main-development-blog-the/#comment-8032" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/11/cross-posted-from-the-main-development-blog-the/#respond" title="Reply" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("commentcontent-8032", "8032", "respond", "7")">Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-8032" class="commentcontent"><p>Great!</p> </div> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-13462" class="comment odd alt depth-2"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/a7cec6f544a045ec3048928f8f253dd1?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://www.plusxpert.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Nedim</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2012-11-08T08:20:27Z">8:20 am <em>on</em> November 8, 2012</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/11/cross-posted-from-the-main-development-blog-the/#comment-13462" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130126204410/http://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/05/11/cross-posted-from-the-main-development-blog-the/#respond" title="Reply" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("commentcontent-13462", "13462", "respond", "7")">Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-13462" class="commentcontent"><p>Nedim Karaevli Dear WordPress.com</p> <p>I tried to add multi language translator for website.<br/> After I installed the translator plug-in, the window appeared on the top left of my homepage.
