<p>Rudimentary Information allows you to grab information specifically for an individual theme or plugin by fetching data from the WordPress Themes API and Plugins API. This plugin is very simple yet easy to use by providing a valid slug and field to display a specific information. This plugin uses shortcode to display information.</p>
<h4>Working with Themes</h4>
<p>To display a specific theme, please use the following shortcode</p>
<p>[theme-info slug=’theme-slug’ field=’version’]</p>
<p>The slug is the name of the theme that you want to display. The field is an array of choices that you can use to display a piece of information such as version or last_updated information.</p>
<p>The following fields that are currently supported are as follow:</p>
<ul>
<li>name</li>
<li>homepage</li>
<li>screenshot_url</li>
<li>preview_url</li>
<li>download_link</li>
<li>downloaded</li>
<li>last_updated</li>
<li>version</li>
</ul>
<h4>Working with Plugins</h4>
<p>To display a specific plugin, please use the following shortcode</p>
<p>[plugin-info slug=’plugin-slug’ field=’version’]</p>
<p>The slug is the name of the plugin that you want to display. The field is an array of choices that you can use to display a piece of information such as version or last_updated information.</p>
<p>The following fields that are currently supported are as follow:</p>
<ul>
<li>name</li>
<li>homepage</li>
<li>screenshot_url</li>
<li>preview_url</li>
<li>download_link</li>
<li>downloaded</li>
<li>last_updated</li>
<li>version</li>
</ul>
<p>Now supports Meta Box and Widget, an extra feature that you don’t need to waste your time with shortcode but shortcodes will be avaiable if you need to grab small information from the API. For this new feature to work properly, you will need to set a theme slug or plugin slug in the Portfolio (Jetpack Portfolio) page. This will save the slug as part of the page and you can use the plugin info widget or theme info widget to display the specific theme. Displays Tags is also supported in its own Widget.</p>

<p>Provides an easy way to display your WordPress.org Themes, Plugins, Core tickets, and Codex contributions with handy widgets and template tags.</p>
<p>WordPress wouldn’t be as amazing as it is without all of the contributors to the project. The community is proud of each and every contributor. Display some of your contributions to the project using handy widgets or template tags in your custom theme.  Currently, you can display your contributions to WordPress core, the WordPress Codex, your WordPress Plugins, or your WordPress themes.</p>
<p>There are four handy widgets available for you that are easily configured and added to your sidebar.  You just need to add your theme or plugin slug to display a theme or plugin or enter your WordPress.org username to display core or codex contributions.</p>
<p>There are two shortcodes available, and some handy template tags if you desire to add them in your custom theme.  More info on shortcodes and template tags are available under the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-contributions/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a>.</p>
<p>We want to give a big thanks to the great plugin, <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-core-contributions-widget/" rel="ugc">Core Contributions Widget</a> by Eric Mann, Michael Fields, John P. Bloch, Mike Bijon, and Konstantin Obenland. We forked part of this plugin to include Core and Codex Contributions. If you would just like widgets to display Core and Codex Contributions, we recommend downloading their plugin.</p>
<h3>Available shortcodes</h3>
<h3>Show a Plugin Card</h3>
<pre><code>[wp_contributions_plugin_card slug="your-plugin-slug"]<h3>Show a Theme Card</h3>
[wp_contributions_theme_card slug="your-theme-slug"]
</code></pre>
<p>Not sure what shortcodes are? <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn more here</a>.</p>
<h4>How do I add a widget?</h4>

<li>For the plugin and them widgets, enter a widget title and enter the slug of the plugin you would like to display. The slug of a plugin can be found by looking at the URL of the plugin page.  For instance, Jetpack is found at <code>https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/</code> which makes the plugin slug <code>jetpack</code>.</li>
<li>For Core and Codex contributions, enter a title, your WordPress.org username, and the number of contributions you would like to display. It will display the most recent contributions. There will be a link to display more contributions so people can view any after the number you input.</li>

WP Contributions


It's a small plugin, but exactly what I needed and the support is great, even almost nobody has it installed (if we believe the numbers). Thank you!


Nice!
