    A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a WordPress.org Profile

    Are you excited about attending WordCamp Johor Bahru 2025 but feeling a bit overwhelmed by the requirement of having a WordPress.org profile to purchase your ticket? Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a WordPress.org profile, step by step. Whether you’re a seasoned WordPress user or a complete beginner, this guide will make the process quick and easy.

    Why Do You Need a WordPress.org Profile?

    WordPress.org is the official platform for WordPress, where users can access resources, contribute to the community, and participate in forums. Having a profile helps you:

    • Engage with the WordPress community.
    • Contribute to WordPress through support forums, translations, themes, and plugins.
    • Register and buy tickets for WordCamp events like WordCamp Johor Bahru 2025.

    Step 1: Sign Up for an Account

    Go to the WordPress.org registration page: https://login.wordpress.org/register.

    Step 2: Fill Out the Registration Form

    You’ll see a registration form asking for the following details:

    • Username: Choose a unique username. This will be your identity on WordPress.org, so pick something that represents you well.
    • Email Address: Enter a valid email address. This will be used for account verification and communication.
    • Privacy Policy: Tick the box to confirm you’ve read and accepted the privacy policy.
    • Other Fields: These are optional and can be filled out later.

    Once you’ve filled in the required details, click Create Account.

    Step 3: Verify Your Email

    After submitting the form, you’ll receive a confirmation email from WordPress.org. Open the email and click on the verification link to activate your account and set a password. If you don’t see the email, check your spam or promotions folder.

    Step 4: Complete Your Profile

    After logging in, visit your profile by clicking on your username at the top-right corner. You can add details such as:

    • Display Name (if different from your username)
    • Profile Picture (via Gravatar)
    • Bio, Website, and Social Links
