wp to wpm

This repository contains information and scripts to migrate WordPress plugins and themes from the official WordPress.org SVN repository to wpm (package manager and registry for wp ecosystem).

📋 Overview

wpm is a modern package manager for WordPress that provides an alternative distribution method for WordPress plugins and themes. This repository serves as the central hub for tracking which WordPress.org packages have been migrated to wpm and managing the migration process.

🗂️ Repository Structure

• themes.json - Contains all theme names that have been successfully migrated from WordPress.org SVN to WPM
• plugins.json - Contains all plugin names that have been successfully migrated from WordPress.org SVN to WPM
• conflicts.json - Lists themes and plugins with conflicting names that cannot be automatically published (authors can manually request publication under the original name)

🚀 How to Request Migration

For Plugin/Theme Authors

If your WordPress plugin or theme exists on WordPress.org but hasn't been migrated to WPM yet, you can request migration by:

1. Fork this repository
2. Create a new branch for your request
3. Add your plugin/theme name to the appropriate JSON file:
   • Add to plugins.json for plugins
   • Add to themes.json for themes
4. Submit a Pull Request with:
   • Clear title indicating the plugin/theme name
   • Description explaining why you want it migrated

For Community Members

Community members can also submit migration requests for popular plugins/themes that aren't yet available on wpm by following the same process above.

🛑 Removal Requests

If you are the author of a plugin or theme that has been migrated to wpm and you want it removed:

1. Open an Issue in this repository
2. Explain the reason for removal (optional but helpful)
3. A maintainer will review and process the removal request
