I recently uploaded a new plugin. I use the zipped file from the Github release page. Unfortunately, I didn't know that the plugin uploader will take the folder name as the slug for the plugin.

Now, I am stuck with this name: GeoKKP-GIS-version-0_1_0 (see the version at the end of the name). When I upload a new version, I need to rename my directory with the name above (it's strange for sure, since it's not version 0.1.0 any more).

So, I have a questions:

  1. Is it possible to change the slug of my plugin? It's a new plugin, so there are very limited users.
  2. Perhaps we can add a field so that plugin author can choose their own slug for the plugin. I think Google play store can do something like this (or perhaps read from metadata). Is that possible?

Thanks.

Hi @ismailsunni,

  1. yes, it is possible to change the slug in a tricky way. We can change your slug on the database, but the folder name in your next version must have the same string as your modified slug.
  2. yes, this is also possible, I think this is the safer way (compare to option # 1), we can add a new field for custom unique slug with default value: folder name of the plugin. Thank you for your input, I will work on it and post the update.

Hi @sumandari, thanks for the reply.

Can you change it to GeoKKP-GIS only?
