About hub2wp
hub2wp is a free and open, GitHub-based plugin repository that makes it easy to discover and install WordPress plugins hosted on GitHub. It is a bridge between the WordPress plugin ecosystem and the vast world of GitHub repositories.
It works by scanning public GitHub repositories that have the wordpress-plugin topic. It is a read-only service, and no code is hosted on hub2wp. All plugin details are retrieved directly from GitHub.
h2wp consists of two parts:
- hub2wp Plugin: A WordPress plugin that allows you to discover, install, and update GitHub-hosted plugins directly from your WordPress dashboard.
- hub2wp Repo: This website, where you can browse, search, and explore WordPress plugins that are hosted on GitHub.
Requirements for a Plugin to Appear in hub2wp Repo
To be listed in hub2wp, a plugin must:
✅ Be hosted on GitHub as a public repository.
✅ Have the topic
wordpress-plugin added to the repository.
✅ Have a readme.txt or a README.md in the root directory and include a Stable tag header.
Once these requirements are met, the plugin will automatically appear in the hub2wp Plugin Repo. Due to technical constraints, it may take up to 24 hours for a plugin to appear after meeting the requirements.
