Description
Show Latest posts news ticker at bottom…
For backwards compatibility, if this section is missing, the full length of the short description will be used, and
Markdown parsed.
A few notes about the sections above:
- “Contributors” is a comma separated list of wordpress.org usernames
- “Tags” is a comma separated list of tags that apply to the plugin
- “Requires at least” is the lowest version that the plugin will work on
- “Tested up to” is the highest version that you’ve successfully used to test the plugin. Note that it might work on
higher versions… this is just the highest one you’ve verified. -
Stable tag should indicate the Subversion “tag” of the latest stable version, or “trunk,” if you use
/trunk/
for
stable.Note that the
readme.txt
of the stable tag is the one that is considered the defining one for the plugin, so
if the/trunk/readme.txt
file says that the stable tag is4.3
, then it is/tags/4.3/readme.txt
that’ll be used
for displaying information about the plugin. In this situation, the only thing considered from the trunkreadme.txt
is the stable tag pointer. Thus, if you develop in trunk, you can update the trunkreadme.txt
to reflect changes in
your in-development version, without having that information incorrectly disclosed about the current stable version
that lacks those changes — as long as the trunk’sreadme.txt
points to the correct stable tag.If no stable tag is provided, it is assumed that trunk is stable, but you should specify “trunk” if that’s where
you put the stable version, in order to eliminate any doubt.
Arbitrary section
You may provide arbitrary sections, in the same format as the ones above. This may be of use for extremely complicated
plugins where more information needs to be conveyed that doesn’t fit into the categories of “description” or
“installation.” Arbitrary sections will be shown below the built-in sections outlined above.
A brief Markdown Example
Ordered list:
- 10 Latest Blog posts
- Rotating text
- Current time
Here’s a link to WordPress and one to Markdown’s Syntax Documentation.
Titles are optional, naturally.
Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I’ve been told:
Asterisks for emphasis. Double it up for strong.
<?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>
Installation
This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.
e.g.
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name
directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
