I have noticed W3TC is allowed to host premium code in the WordPress Repo. You may download their plugin freely from the WordPress repo, but certain features are paid, and you need a license key before you can leverage these features. In their settings page, they have a "license" field, and when entered, premium features are unlocked. I was under the impression that this is not allowed according to WordPress guidelines, and you need to seperate paid/premium code from the …

When searching the plugin directory on wordpress.org how are the results ranked? It seems the main components are number of downloads and rating, or is there actually a full blown algorithm behind it taking many different statistics into account? I have searched Google, but all I get are WordPress plugins for SEO instead of information about the way plugins are ranked within the WordPress search. Finally, what are my options for SEO if I want my plugin to rank highly …
I wrote a custom plugin for a client and another one for myself. The one for my client is being used on 9 of their wordpress sites and I have zero drive to manually upload new versions 9 times. Hence I created some sort of custom repository. Everything is working fine, there is just this one thing: How can I place an image into the modal header as one is used to see from plugins hosted at the Wordpress repository? …
When you activate a plugin, it goes through the whole activate .. bounce to the next page thing. Does the plugin fire that hook when it is updated, or only during the initial installation?
I'm a plugin developer and want to ensure my users are getting updates when I release an update within the wordpress plugin svn repo. I know if they search for the plugin through the plugin area of their admin and install it that way that they see updates. However I'm not sure if people download the zip file from the public wordpress plugin listing, ie from a page like this, and then upload it manually to their wordpress installation, is …

I have previously been able to go the the plugin repository to locate previous versions of plugins in order to restore compromised websites. Since the design for the plugin repository has changed I can no longer find where they are stored. I have scrolled down to the "Contributors & Developers" section then followed various links to try and download older versions but can only seem to download files that have had changes (not all files). Please if someone could help …
I'm working on a plugin that's in the WordPress plugin repository. I've made some changes to the plugin's code. The changes I made were to move code from a large admin.php file into an /admin directory. The code has no errors that I can see in the logs. It passes the php codesniffer using the WordPress standard. I have no other plugins installed on my testing site. With the old version of the plugin active, when updating the plugin through …
I released a new plugin to the .org repository about a month ago, and have committed several new versions since then, but the pie chart on the stats page has always stayed at 100% for an arbitrary version. For example, a week or so after 1.1 was released, it said that 100% of users had 1.0 installed, and recently it's been saying that 1.1.2 has 100%. I released 1.1.3 yesterday and it's gotten about 75 downloads so far, but the …
How does a WordPress plugin know whether if there are updates available to download and to download those updates. What function or script controls this and how does it work? I am assuming this would be the same function that controls whether a plugin has been purchased aka premium or has not been purchased and how do product keys work? I want to find out because I want to dive into creating my own plugin.

Now I want to resume development of on my work pc. But I'm not sure how. So how can I clone/pull the repo to my machine so I can resume pushing and committing future changes from where I left off? (As if I was still …
I experience a quite odd behavior of the WordPress Repository, or I am doing something wrong (more likely). So, for my plugin, which is registered in the WordPress Repository, I created a logo and I uploaded it as icon-128x128.png as well as icon-256x256.png in the /assets/-folder. First I only uploaded the small logo and it didn't show up in the search results. I thought, I wait a bit, since the Repository needs sometimes a bit time to react. After this …
Am developing a plugin that I would like to submit to the WordPress.org repo. It's dependent on Apache License 2.0 code, so I know I should license my plugin with GPLv3 - it's allowed. So, how do I properly license my plugin? Obviously I should include License: GPLv3 in my plugin's header, but it feels like there's more I should do. What else should I do?
