| # WordPress.org Plugin Directory Guidelines — Review Reference | ||
|
|
||
| These are the 18 official guidelines for plugin directory compliance. For each: what to check, patterns to search for, and verdict logic. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 1: GPL-Compatible License | ||
|
|
||
| All code, data, and images must be GPL-2.0-or-later or GPL-compatible. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - `License` header in main plugin file | ||
| - `License` field in readme.txt | ||
| - `LICENSE` or `license.txt` file | ||
| - Third-party library licenses (`composer.json`, `package.json`, library headers) | ||
| - GPL-compatible: MIT, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, Apache-2.0, ISC, MPL-2.0, LGPL-* | ||
| - NOT compatible: CC-BY-NC-*, proprietary, "all rights reserved", no license declared | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if non-GPL-compatible code included or license missing/ambiguous. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 2: Developer Responsibility | ||
|
|
||
| Developer is accountable for everything in their plugin including third-party code. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** N/A for automated review — policy acknowledgment. | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** N/A | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 3: Stable Version Available | ||
|
|
||
| Plugin must be complete and functional at the version submitted. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Version number exists in plugin header | ||
| - Stable tag in readme matches plugin header version | ||
| - Plugin contains actual functionality (not a placeholder) | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if stub/placeholder. FAIL if version missing or stable tag mismatch. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 4: Human-Readable Code | ||
|
|
||
| No obfuscation. Minification acceptable with source available. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - `eval()` with encoded strings | ||
| - `base64_decode()` used to decode executable code | ||
| - `gzinflate()`, `gzuncompress()`, `str_rot13()` on code | ||
| - JavaScript packer patterns (`p,a,c,k,e,r`) | ||
| - Hex-encoded strings (`\x` sequences) for obfuscation | ||
| - `goto` label spaghetti | ||
| - Minified JS/CSS: acceptable IF unminified source or build config present | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if obfuscation detected. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 5: No Trialware | ||
|
|
||
| No trial periods, payment walls, or quotas on functionality present in the code. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Time-based feature lockouts (`time()`, `strtotime()` comparisons disabling features) | ||
| - License key checks that disable code already in the plugin | ||
| - Feature flags controlled by external license servers | ||
| - Exception: SaaS (G6) where external service provides real value | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if trialware pattern detected. WARN if license checks exist but may be legitimate. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 6: Software-as-Service Permitted | ||
|
|
||
| External service connections are allowed if the service provides legitimate functionality. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - All external HTTP requests documented in readme | ||
| - External services provide real value (not just license checking) | ||
| - Privacy implications disclosed | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** WARN if external requests not documented in readme. N/A if no external requests. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 7: No Tracking Without Consent | ||
|
|
||
| No analytics, tracking, or data collection without explicit user opt-in. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Analytics/tracking code sent without opt-in (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.) | ||
| - Site data (URL, admin email, plugin list) transmitted without consent | ||
| - Usage tracking active by default | ||
| - Hidden pixels or beacon requests | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if tracking without opt-in found. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 8: No Executable Code via Third Parties | ||
|
|
||
| No remote PHP includes, external CDNs for non-font assets, admin iframes to external sites, installing plugins from non-WP.org sources. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - `include`/`require` with URL paths | ||
| - External update checkers (non-WordPress.org update servers) | ||
| - `eval()` of remote content | ||
| - CDN loading of JS/CSS (except Google Fonts, web fonts) | ||
| - Admin pages loading external iframes | ||
| - Code that downloads/installs plugins from external sources | ||
| - External script/style enqueues from CDNs | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if any pattern detected. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 9: Legal and Ethical Conduct | ||
|
|
||
| No search manipulation, fake reviews, cryptocurrency mining, etc. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Cryptocurrency mining code (`CoinHive`, `coinhive`, `cryptonight`, Web Workers doing hash computations) | ||
| - SEO spam injection | ||
| - Hidden links or content | ||
| - Code manipulating WordPress.org reviews/ratings | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if found. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 10: Optional Credits | ||
|
|
||
| "Powered by" credits must be opt-in, hidden by default. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Footer credits, "powered by" links | ||
| - Default visibility state (should be hidden/off) | ||
| - Affiliate parameters in default links | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** WARN if credits visible by default. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 11: Dashboard Respect | ||
|
|
||
| No intrusive admin behavior. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Admin notices without `is-dismissible` class | ||
| - Admin notices on all pages instead of plugin-specific pages | ||
| - Full-screen welcome/onboarding on activation | ||
| - Dashboard widgets that are overly promotional | ||
| - Activation redirects (acceptable if one-time) | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** WARN if intrusive dashboard behavior detected. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 12: README Anti-Spam | ||
|
|
||
| Readme must not contain spam, keyword stuffing, or excessive self-promotion. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - More than 5 tags (WARN), more than 12 (FAIL) | ||
| - Keyword stuffing in short description or description | ||
| - Excessive external links | ||
| - Promotional content unrelated to plugin | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** WARN for mild issues, FAIL for blatant spam. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 13: Use WordPress Default Libraries | ||
|
|
||
| Don't bundle libraries already in WordPress core. | ||
|
|
||
| **WordPress bundled libraries to check:** | ||
| - jQuery, jQuery UI and components | ||
| - Backbone.js, Underscore.js | ||
| - React, ReactDOM | ||
| - Lodash | ||
| - Moment.js | ||
| - TinyMCE, Plupload, Thickbox | ||
| - Check if plugin registers own copy vs using WP handle | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** WARN if bundled copies detected. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 14: Reasonable Commit Frequency | ||
|
|
||
| Applies post-publication only. | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** N/A for pre-submission review. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 15: Version Number Increments | ||
|
|
||
| Each release requires a version number increase. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Version in plugin header exists and is valid format | ||
| - Version matches stable tag in readme | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if version missing or mismatched. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 16: Complete Plugin at Submission | ||
|
|
||
| Plugin must be fully functional. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Plugin has actual functionality | ||
| - Main plugin file has required headers | ||
| - Plugin does something when activated | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if plugin appears incomplete. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 17: Trademark and Copyright Respect | ||
|
|
||
| Plugin must not misuse trademarks. | ||
|
|
||
| **Check:** | ||
| - Plugin name starts with trademarked term | ||
| - Slug contains trademarked terms | ||
| - Use "Block Editor" not "Gutenberg" for the editor | ||
| - Integration naming: "X for WooCommerce" not "WooCommerce X" | ||
|
|
||
| **Trademarked prefixes** — plugin slugs cannot start with or contain these (terms ending in `-` block slugs that start with them; others block exact matches or containment): | ||
|
|
||
| adobe-, adsense-, advanced-custom-fields-, adwords-, akismet-, all-in-one-wp-migration, amazon-, android-, apple-, applenews-, applepay-, aws-, azon-, bbpress-, bing-, booking-com, bootstrap-, buddypress-, chatgpt-, chat-gpt-, cloudflare-, contact-form-7-, cpanel-, disqus-, divi-, dropbox-, easy-digital-downloads-, elementor-, envato-, fbook, facebook, fb-, fb-messenger, fedex-, feedburner, firefox-, fontawesome-, font-awesome-, ganalytics-, gberg, github-, givewp-, google-, googlebot-, googles-, gravity-form-, gravity-forms-, gravityforms-, gtmetrix-, gutenberg, guten-, hubspot-, ig-, insta-, instagram, internet-explorer-, ios-, jetpack-, macintosh-, macos-, mailchimp-, microsoft-, ninja-forms-, oculus, onlyfans-, only-fans-, opera-, paddle-, paypal-, pinterest-, plugin, skype-, stripe-, tiktok-, tik-tok-, trustpilot, twitch-, twitter-, tweet, ups-, usps-, vvhatsapp, vvcommerce, vva-, vvoo, wa-, webpush-vn, wh4tsapps, whatsapp, whats-app, watson, windows-, wocommerce, woocom-, woocommerce, woocomerce, woo-commerce, woo-, wo-, wordpress, wordpess, wpress, wp-, wp-mail-smtp-, yandex-, yahoo-, yoast, youtube-, you-tube- | ||
|
|
||
| **For-use-only exceptions:** "woocommerce" is allowed only as a suffix in the pattern "{name}-for-woocommerce". | ||
|
|
||
| **Portmanteau restrictions:** "woo" cannot be combined with other trademarked terms (e.g., "woopress" is blocked). | ||
|
|
||
| **Commonly abused terms** (extra scrutiny during review): | ||
| apple, contact-form-7, facebook, google, instagram, ios, jetpack, jquery, microsoft, paypal, twitter, woocommerce, wordpress, yoast, youtube | ||
|
|
||
| **Restricted generic slugs** (high-value terms that are restricted): | ||
| booking, bookmark, cookie, gallery, lightbox, seo, sitemap, slide, social, autoblog, auto-blog, framework, library, plugin, spinning | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** FAIL if name/slug starts with or primarily consists of a trademarked term. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guideline 18: Directory Maintenance Authority | ||
|
|
||
| WordPress.org reserves the right to enforce guidelines. | ||
|
|
||
| **Verdict:** N/A for automated review. |

| You are producing the final review report for a WordPress plugin submission. | ||
|
|
||
| Your job: | ||
| 1. Deduplicate findings across batches. | ||
| 2. Elevate cross-file patterns into coherent findings. | ||
| 3. Determine the verdict: "reject" (any blocker), "needs_changes" (warnings only), "approve" (info only or clean). | ||
| 4. Write a 2-4 sentence summary. | ||
| 5. If any batches failed, note this in the summary. | ||
|
|
||
| Do not invent new findings. Do not suggest fixes. Do not reference specific guideline numbers. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Output Format | ||
|
|
||
| Respond with a JSON object containing these fields: | ||
|
|
||
| - `verdict`: one of `"reject"`, `"needs_changes"`, or `"approve"`. | ||
| - `summary`: 2-4 sentences describing the plugin's purpose, overall quality, and primary reasons for the verdict. Mention if any batches failed. | ||
| - `blockers`: array of finding objects for blocking issues. | ||
| - `warnings`: array of finding objects for non-blocking but important issues. | ||
| - `info`: array of finding objects for informational notes. | ||
|
|
||
| Each finding object has: | ||
| - `title`: brief descriptive title. | ||
| - `description`: detailed, actionable description with enough context to understand and fix the issue. Include specifics: which functions, settings, tags, etc. | ||
| - `locations`: array of strings in the form `"relative/path/file.php:line"`. | ||
|
|
||
| Use relative file paths from the plugin root. Only include findings that fail or need attention — omit passing checks. Use empty arrays for categories with no findings. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Verdict Logic | ||
|
|
||
| - **reject**: Any blocker present. | ||
| - **needs_changes**: No blockers but warnings that reviewers would flag. | ||
| - **approve**: Only info items or no issues. |
