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 is
4.3
, 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 trunk
readme.txt
is the stable tag pointer. Thus, if you develop in trunk, you can update the trunk
readme.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's
readme.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.
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
