WordPress.org plugin/theme submissions

WordPress.org plugin/theme submissions is the technical preparation and deployment of a plugin/theme to the official WordPress.org repository: checking compliance with guidelines and the GPL license, preparing the repository structure and SVN deployment (trunk/tags/assets), readme.txt per the standard, banner/icon/screenshots, setting up the release/update process (including CI for auto-deploying versions), help passing the mandatory manual review by the WordPress.org team, monitoring. The work: compliance/GPL, SVN deployment, releases/CI, review support. Honestly about 'deployment ≠ installs', this is key: automating preparation/deployment removes the manual work of the release process, but does not create installs — they depend on the usefulness of the plugin/theme, demand, competition, repository ASO. 'We deploy — there will be installs' = a lie. Honestly about 'the manual review is mandatory and not bypassable': the initial publishing passes a mandatory manual review by the WordPress.org team (code/security/compliance), which cannot be automated or bypassed, can be lengthy/iterative and reject — the decision and timelines are beyond our control. Honestly about 'a ready plugin/theme + GPL is needed': deployment is possible only for a ready product compliant with guidelines and the GPL license (otherwise this is separate development/fixes). Honestly about 'the repository is free': you cannot sell in .org — monetization is only freemium outside the repository. Honestly about 'SVN specifics': the repository is on SVN (not Git) — deployment/updates go via SVN; we account for it. Honestly about 'no inflation': installs/reviews are only genuine. Honestly about the effect: it technically prepares and deploys a ready plugin/theme to WordPress.org (GPL/guidelines, SVN trunk/tags/assets, readme, releases/CI, manual review support), removing manual deployment routine, but deployment ≠ installs; the manual review is mandatory/not bypassable/can reject; a ready product+GPL is needed (development separate); the repository is free (freemium outside .org); SVN specifics; no inflation. Honestly about access: a ready plugin/theme (or development), GPL/guidelines compliance are needed. An important boundary: this is technical preparation/deployment; full publishing/optimization/freemium model WordPress.org — 608 (marketplaces section). The base price starts from 28,000 ₽ for preparation/deployment/CI (plugin/theme development — separate).

• Plugin/theme deployment to WordPress.org is done manually via SVN: hard, errors, no CI for updates.
• A misconception that deployment = installs or that automation bypasses the manual review.
• Not knowing about the mandatory lengthy manual review, the GPL license and the repository's SVN specifics.
• Expecting installs from the fact of deployment; a desire to inflate installs/reviews.

• Checking compliance with guidelines/GPL, preparing the repository structure and SVN deployment (trunk/tags/assets)
• readme.txt per the standard, banner/icon/screenshots
• Setting up the release/update process (CI for auto-deploying versions via SVN)
• Help passing the mandatory manual review by the WordPress.org team, monitoring
• An honest assessment: what deployment automates and what depends on the product's usefulness/demand
• Honest boundaries (deployment ≠ installs; the manual review is mandatory/not bypassable/can reject; a ready product+GPL is needed; the repository is free, freemium outside .org; SVN specifics; no inflation)
• Documentation and handover
• Review with you

• A technically prepared and deployed plugin/theme to WordPress.org (SVN, readme, assets) + set-up releases/CI
• Removed manual deployment routine and errors + manual review support
• An honest assessment: what deployment gives and what depends on the product's usefulness/demand (or what to fix)
• Honest boundaries (deployment ≠ installs; the manual review is mandatory; a ready product+GPL is needed; no inflation)

• We check compliance with guidelines/GPL, prepare the SVN structure/deployment/readme/assets
• We set up releases/CI, support the mandatory manual review by the WordPress.org team
• We honestly set boundaries (deployment ≠ installs; the review is not bypassable; a ready product is needed) and hand over with documentation

• You deploy — will there be installs?

  No, honestly: automating preparation/deployment removes the manual work of the release process, but does not create installs. They depend on the usefulness of the plugin/theme, demand, competition, repository ASO. We honestly do technical deployment as an efficiency tool, without promises of installs.

• Will automation bypass the WordPress.org manual review?

  No, honestly: the initial publishing passes a mandatory manual review by the WordPress.org team (code/security/compliance) — it cannot be automated or bypassed, it can be lengthy/iterative and reject. We help pass the review, but the decision and timelines are beyond our control.

• Can a plugin from .org be sold?

  No, honestly: in the WordPress.org repository the products are free, you cannot sell there — only freemium (paid features/support outside .org). Plus deployment is possible only for a ready GPL-compatible product; if there is none — this is separate development. Full publishing/freemium model — 608. We do not do inflation.
