I am a WordPress plugin developer. While I have written many plugins for WordPress and shared them on GitHub, I also host 12 plugins on the WordPress.org/Plugins repository — with more than 400k total downloads. A few days ago the new WordPress plugin repo went live, and I along with many other developers got surprised by that. I was very public with the feedback, I wrote about it on the Facebook’s Advanced WordPress group, wrote a post about it on WPLift, and in the form of comments on Make blog post.
But I feel like the feedback was either ignored, or the decision to make this new repo live was rushed with a few resources at hand, which could have addressed the feedback.
I Want To Like It!
Don’t get me wrong. I want to really like the new repo. The screenshots slider, the clean and minimal design part of which functions very well, is more than welcomed.
Maybe, we can have the description, screenshots, videos and all that on one page and then have other stuff like the changelog, FAQs, etc. in the form of tabs. Who knows!?
Sadly, there are issues, which we all knew about, from the beta. Those issues, are still there in the live version.
The Confusion
With due respect
