Should bw_plug link to the new plugin directory? #18

Closed bobbingwide closed 5 years ago

bobbingwide commented 7 years ago

When you visit a plugin on WordPress.org using the old style link you get taken to a page that says "Test out the new Plugin Directory and let us know what you think."

The target URL is only slightly different.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ https://wordpress.org/plugins-wp/wordpress-seo/

Should we be pointing users to the new plugin directory? What happens when this goes live?

Answer: In the example above we should be pointing to https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo. Notes:

https rather than http
remove /extend from the path

For assets from ps.w.org we haven't yet changed to https

Before I close this I've decided to remove the additional link below the banner image when the shortcode is of the form [bw_plug name=plugin banner=?] e.g. [bw_plug name=gutenberg banner=j]. The link in the image points to where the plugin can be found. e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg More often than not the text link below it was to itself. e.g. https://blocks.wp-a2z.org/oik-plugins/gutenberg/

The code has been changed. The PHPUnit tests need to be updated to reflect this change.
