ClassicPress Directory Update
Announcement
We are excited to announce the new developer login for the ClassicPress Directory, a major milestone for us as a community!
With this major update, plugin developers will be able to login via their Forums account, create a new Developer Profile, and manage and publish their plugins to the community. After the initial developer login is stable we will be listening for your feedback on which features to build out next.
We have taken an approach of allowing all users to login into the Directory without requiring them to make a developer profile. This will allow us, in the future, to add features for end users as well. For example, some potential ideas are to allow for comments, reviews, and support via the directory, all of which will be connected with the ClassicPress Forums.
In the coming months, we will also be looking at open sourcing the directory to allow for more transparent updates and progress, as well as feature PRs from the community.
We are really excited about this next update, and hope plugin developers are too. For theme developers, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten you! We will be releasing theme support in the coming months too!
