In a discussion about customizing the “Discourse Login” button in the WordPress plugin, jrgong asks if the wp-discourse plugin is maintained by the Discourse team and whether pull requests (PRs) are accepted. awesomerobot confirms that the plugin is maintained by the team and PRs are welcome, encouraging contributors to follow general coding conventions (noting not all apply to the plugin) and emphasizing responsiveness to feedback — highlighting that feedback means the work is valued and likely to be included. angus adds that the plugin’s policy favors minimal styling to accommodate diverse WordPress themes, suggesting that adding a new style setting (rather than site-specific styles) would be more acceptable for inclusion.
Hey guys,
Is the wp-discourse plugin currently maintained by the discourse team? If yes, do you accept PRs?
I forked and added a feature for additional CSS classes for the discourse login button and a feature to display an icon next to the login text (from media library).
Yes, we maintain it and PRs are welcome — we have some general conventions that might be helpful to reference here: Contributing to Discourse development , though note that not everything in there will be relevant to the plugin. Our team is friendly, so don’t worry about getting everything right at first — this might be the most important piece to note:
Generally speaking the policy of the WP Discourse plugin is to have very minimal styles and styling as there is such a wide variety of different approaches to Wordpress styles and theming. If you what you’ve done is add a new style setting, as opposed to incorporated new styles and styling specific to your site, then that might be ok
