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:
