We attempt to review all plugins as soon as possible, but the process takes as long as it takes, depending on the complexity of your plugin. Check the current wait above for a general estimation.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I expedite my plugin review?<\/h3>\n<p>Your plugin review cannot be prioritised over others, but to help us approve your plugin sooner, please ensure that you have read the <a class=\"ext-link\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/apis\/security\/\">Security chapter<\/a> of the Plugin Handbook.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: revert;background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--white);color: var(--wp--preset--color--charcoal-1);font-family: var(--wp--preset--font-family--inter)\">Our three most common reasons for not approving a plugin are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The plugin contains unescaped output:\u00a0<a class=\"ext-link\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/apis\/security\/escaping\/\">Learn about Escaping Data<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The plugin accepts unsanitized data:\u00a0<a class=\"ext-link\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/apis\/security\/sanitizing\/\">Learn about Sanitising Data<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The plugin processes form data without a nonce:\u00a0<a class=\"ext-link\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/apis\/security\/nonces\/\">Learn about Nonces<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the code in your plugin falls into one of the above categories,\u00a0<strong>your plugin will not be approved<\/strong>. The plugin review team will refer you back to these Handbook pages, adding further delay to the review process.<\/p>\n<h3>What will my plugin URL be?<\/h3>\n<p>Your plugin&#8217;s URL will be populated based on the value of <code>Plugin Name<\/code> in your main plugin file (the one with the plugin headers). If you set yours as <code>Plugin Name: Boaty McBoatface<\/code> then your URL will be <code>https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/boaty-mcboatface<\/code> and your slug will be <code>boaty-mcboatface<\/code> for example. If there is an existing plugin with your name, then you will be <code>boaty-mcboatface-2<\/code> and so on. It behaves exactly like WordPress post names.<\/p>\n<p>Once your plugin is approved, it <em>cannot<\/em> be renamed.<\/p>\n<h3>I made a mistake in my plugin name. Should I resubmit?<\/h3>\n<p>Please don&#8217;t! Instead email <code>plugins@wordpress.org<\/code> and we can rename your plugin as long as it&#8217;s not approved. Since we check emails first, the odds are we&#8217;ll catch it. If we don&#8217;t, just email us and explain the mistake. We&#8217;ll explain what do to.<\/p>\n<h3>Why was I told my plugin name was unacceptable?<\/h3>\n<p>This is explained in detail in our <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-org\/detailed-plugin-guidelines\/\">detailed plugin guidelines<\/a>, but currently we give you the chance to rename yout during the review process if the plugin name violates the guideline. Some terms (like &#8216;plugin&#8217; and &#8216;wordpress&#8217;) will be removed for you, as those should not be used at all. We get it. You&#8217;re a WordPress Plugin.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding other companies and plugins&#8217; names and trademarks, don&#8217;t use them to start your plugin name. If you&#8217;re not Facebook, you shouldn&#8217;t submit a plugin that uses <code>facebook<\/code>\u00a0as the first term in your slug. &#8220;Facebook Like Sharer&#8221; (which would be <code>facebook-like-sharer<\/code>) is not acceptable, but &#8220;Like Sharer for Facebook (which would be <code>like-sharer-for-facebook<\/code>) would be alright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once submitted, your plugin will be manually reviewed for any common errors as well as ensuring it complies with all the\u00a0guidelines.
