<p>WP Developers Homepage provides a central place for developers of WordPress plugins and themes to see their information:</p>
<ol>
<li>View and respond to all of your unresolved plugin & theme support requests.</li>
<li>View useful statistics for all of your plugins & themes.</li>
</ol>
<p>Based on Mickey Kay’s great <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dev-dashboard/" rel="ugc">WP Dev Dashboard</a>.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Displays plugin and theme support requests in a sortable table for ease of use.</li>
<li>Displays all plugins and themes in a sortable, easy-to-parse table.</li>
<li>Select which plugins and themes to show by username and/or slug.</li>
<li>Choose whether to show all support tickets, or just unresolved ones.</li>
<li>Implements caching to reduce load time for plugin and theme support ticket information.</li>
<li>Includes cache-busting “refresh” option to force refresh plugin and theme support ticket data.</li>
<li>Exclusion of plugins and themes.</li>
<li>Additional information on tickets, including last poster and time.</li>
<li>Set an age limit for the tickets displayed.</li>
<li>Set the timeout before new data is loaded.</li>
<li>Schedule a WP Cron job to load the data in the background.</li>
<li>Shortcode/Gutenberg Block to display both tickets and stats on the frontend.</li>
<li>Optionally includes tickets from GitHub.</li>
</ul>
<h4>GitHub Support</h4>
<p>Host your plugins on GitHub?  WP Developers Homepage can pull your ticket information from there too!</p>
<p>Simply add your GitHub username to the WP Developers Homepage settings.</p>
<p>Note: Your GitHub repos for your themes/plugins must match your slug.  So for example, this plugin’s slug is wp-developers-homepage, so the GitHub url for it’s repo is <a href="https://github.com/toolstack/wp-developers-homepage" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/toolstack/wp-developers-homepage</a>.</p>
<p>WP Developers Homepage uses the GitHub API to retrieve the ticket information, which by default has a limit of 60 request/hour for unauthenticated users.  Each plugin/theme you have will generate at least one request, and if you have a significant number of tickets (over 100) it will generate 1 request/repo/100 items.</p>
<p>So if you have 5 plugins, with 150 tickets per plugin, you’ll generate 10 requests (2 per plugin).</p>
<p>If you need more than 60 requests/hour, you can <a href="https://github.com/settings/tokens/?type=beta" rel="nofollow ugc">create an access token</a> that will increase this limit.  The token should be limited to the plugin/theme repos you have and should have no permission assigned to it.  <em>DO NOT</em> reuse an existing token that you have assigned permissions to.</p>
<p><em>Warning</em>: The access token will be stored in plain text inside of the WordPress database!</p>
<p>Once you have the token, go to the WP Developers Homepage settings and save it.</p>
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<p>The shortcode is in the format of <code>[wp-developers-homepage type=tickets|stats]</code>.</p>
<p>Type came be either left off (tickets are the default in that case), or be set to either <code>tickets</code> or <code>stats</code> to display the respective table.</p>
<p>Be aware that the stats table is very wide, so if you have a narrow theme installed it may overflow into a scrolling window.</p>

The better tool for monitoring your plugins & themes, including support requests, download stats, version support, and more.

<p>WP Dev Dashboard takes improves upon the default plugin/theme interfaces for authors, and allows you to easily:</p>
<ol>
<li>View and respond to all of your unresolved plugin & theme support requests.</li>
<li>View useful statistics for all of your plugins & themes.</li>
</ol>
<p>The default wordpress.org plugin/theme author dashboards can be difficult to parse, particularly if you have authored numerous plugins and/or themes that generate a large number of support requests. This plugin allows you to easily view and respond to your unresolved plugin and theme support requests in a simple, easy-to-use interface. Additionally, you can view <em>all</em> of your plugin/theme statistics (version, WP compatibility, downloads, ratings, etc) in a sortable table that makes side-by-side comparison a cinch.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Displays plugin and theme support requests in sortable, collapsible metaboxes for ease of use.</li>

WP Dev Dashboard

I have been feeling the need for something that will help me keep track of my WordPress.org items from one panel. Now we got something that works. Wow!



At last something that works

This is a kind of dashboard/service WordPress developers need, WordPress support forum + plugin repository sucks.
Is it going to evolve?
Which new features are you planning?
Anyway, 5 stars!



Worderful Idea

Great plugin, hopefully something similar gets added in V3 of the repository this June. There are 3 things that would help to make it more useful:
- a cut off date for support threads, so that you could pull say just ones that are unresolved in the last week
- threads marked as "not a support question" not coming up in the unresolved list
- the ability to hide certain unresolved issues, so that ones you know you won't answer stop appearing in the list
I imagine the last one would be more challenging.
Thanks again for a really useful dev plugin.



Love this plugin!

This plugin is great I should really give it 5 stars but it takes up a top level menu items when is unnecessary and bad practice.
Otherwise completely brilliant
