We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are just a few small guidelines you need to follow.
Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor License Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution; this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the project. Head over to https://cla.developers.google.com/ to see your current agreements on file or to sign a new one.
You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted one (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it again.
The list of contributors who are featured on the WordPress.org plugin directory are subject to change over time. The organizations and individuals who contribute significantly and consistently (e.g. 3-month period) to the project are eligible to be listed. Those listed should generally be considered as those who take responsibility for the project (i.e. owners). Note that contributions include more than just code, though contributors who commit are most visible. The sort order of the contributors list should generally follow the sort order of the GitHub contributors page, though again, this order does not consider work in issues and the support forum, so it cannot be relied on solely.
To include your changes in the next patch release (e.g. 1.0.x
), please base your branch off of the current release branch (e.g. 1.0
) and open your pull request back to that branch. If you open your pull request with the develop
branch then it will be by default included in the next minor version (e.g. 1.x
).
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult GitHub Help for more information on using pull requests.
This project follows Google's Open Source Community Guidelines.
The AMP Project accepts responsible security disclosures through the Google Application Security program.
In addition to the Community Guidelines, this project follows an explicit Code of Conduct.
To contribute to this plugin, you need the following tools installed on your computer:
- Composer - to install PHP dependencies.
- Node.js - to install JavaScript dependencies.
- WordPress - to run the actual plugin.
You should be running a Node version matching the current active LTS release or newer for this plugin to work correctly. You can check your Node.js version by typing node -v in the Terminal prompt.
If you have an incompatible version of Node in your development environment, you can use nvm to change node versions on the command line:
nvm install
Since you need a WordPress environment to run the plugin in, the quickest way to get up and running is to use the provided Docker setup. Install Docker and Docker Compose by following the instructions on their website.
You can then clone this project somewhere on your computer:
git clone git@github.com:ampproject/amp-wp.git amp
cd amp
After that, run a script to set up the local environment. It will automatically verify whether Docker, Composer and Node.js are configured properly and start the local WordPress instance. You may need to run this script multiple times if prompted.
./bin/local-env/start.sh
If everything was successful, you'll see this on your screen:

The WordPress installation should be available at http://localhost:8890 (Username: admin, Password: password).
To later turn off the local environment, you can run:
npm run env:stop
To bring it back later, run:
npm run env:start
Also, if you need to reset the local environment's database, you can run:
npm run env:reset-site
Alternatively, you can use your own local WordPress environment and clone this repository right into your wp-content/plugins
directory.
cd wp-content/plugins && git clone git@github.com:ampproject/amp-wp.git amp
Then install the packages:
composer install
npm install
And lastly, do a build of the JavaScript:
npm run build:js
Lastly, to get the plugin running in your WordPress install, run composer install
and then activate the plugin via the WordPress dashboard or wp plugin activate amp
.
Whether you use the pre-existing local environment or a custom one, any PHP code changes will be directly visible during development.
However, for JavaScript this involves a build process. To watch for any JavaScript file changes and re-build it when needed, you can run the following command:
npm run dev
This way you will get a development build of the JavaScript, which makes debugging easier.
To get a production build, run:
npm run build:js
To create a build of the plugin for installing in WordPress as a ZIP package, run:
npm run build
This will create an amp.zip
in the plugin directory which you can install. The contents of this ZIP are also located in the build
directory which you can rsync
somewhere as well if needed.
The AMP plugin uses the PHPUnit testing framework to write unit and integration tests for the PHP part.
To run the full test suite, you can use the following command:
npm run test:php
You can also just run test for a specific function or class by using something like this:
npm run test:php -- --filter=AMP_Theme_Support
See npm run test:php:help
to see all the possible options.
Jest is used as the JavaScript unit testing framework.
To run the full test suite, you can use the following command:
npm run test:js
You can also watch for any file changes and only run tests that failed or have been modified:
npm run test:js:watch
See npm run test:js:help
to get a list of additional options that can be passed to the test runner.
This project leverages the local Docker-based environment to facilitate end-to-end (e2e) testing using Puppeteer.
To run the full test suite, you can use the following command:
npm run test:e2e
You can also watch for any file changes and only run tests that failed or have been modified:
npm run test:e2e:watch
Not using the built-in local environment? You can also pass any other URL to run the tests against. Example:
npm run test:e2e -- --wordpress-base-url=https://my-amp-dev-site.local
For debugging purposes, you can also run the E2E tests in non-headless mode:
npm run test:e2e:interactive
Note that this will also slow down all interactions during tests by 80ms. You can control these values individually too:
PUPPETEER_HEADLESS=false npm run test:e2e # Interactive mode, normal speed.
PUPPETEER_SLOWMO=200 npm run test:e2e # Headless mode, slowed down by 200ms.
Sometimes one might want to test additional scenarios that aren't possible in a WordPress installation out of the box. That's why the test setup allows for for adding some utility plugins that can be activated during E2E tests.
For example, such a plugin could create a custom post type and the accompanying E2E test would verify that block validation errors are shown for this custom post type too.
These plugins can be added to tests/e2e/plugins
and then activated via the WordPress admin.
All contributions to this project will be checked against WordPress-Coding-Standards with PHPCS, and for JavaScript linting is done with ESLint.
To verify your code meets the requirements, you can run npm run lint
.
You can also install a pre-commit
hook by running bash vendor/xwp/wp-dev-lib/scripts/install-pre-commit-hook.sh
. This way, your code will be checked automatically before committing any changes.
The file class-amp-allowed-tags-generated.php
has the AMP specification's allowed tags and attributes. It's used in sanitization.
To update that file, perform the following steps:
cd
to the root of this plugin- Run
./bin/amphtml-update.sh
(orlando ssh -c './bin/amphtml-update.sh'
if using Lando). - Review the diff.
- Update tests based on changes to the spec.
- Commit changes.
This script is intended for a Linux environment like VVV or Lando wordpressdev.
The following script creates a post in order to test support for WordPress media and embeds. To run it:
ssh
into an environment like VVVcd
to the root of this plugin- run
wp eval-file bin/create-embed-test-post.php
- go to the URL that is output in the command line
The following script adds an instance of every default WordPress widget to the first registered sidebar. To run it:
ssh
into an environment like VVVcd
to the root of this plugin- run
wp eval-file bin/add-test-widgets-to-sidebar.php
- There will be a message indicating which sidebar has the widgets. Please visit a page with that sidebar.
The following script creates a post with comments in order to test support for WordPress comments. To run it:
ssh
into an environment like VVVcd
to the root of this plugin- run
wp eval-file bin/create-comments-on-test-post.php
- go to the URL that is output in the command line
The following script creates a post with all core Gutenberg blocks. To run it:
ssh
into an environment like VVVcd
to the root of this plugin- run
bash bin/create-gutenberge-test-post.sh
- go to the URL that is output in the command line
- Create changelog draft on Wiki page.
- Check out the branch intended for release (
develop
for major,x.y
for minor) and pull latest commits. - Bump plugin versions in
amp.php
(×2: the metadata block in the header and also theAMP__VERSION
constant). - Do
npm install && composer selfupdate && composer install
. - Do
npm run build
and install theamp.zip
onto a normal WordPress install running a stable release build; do smoke test to ensure it works. - Draft new release on GitHub targeting the required branch (
develop
for major,x.y
for minor).- Use the new plugin version as the tag (e.g.
1.2-beta3
or1.2.1-RC1
) - USe new version as the title, followed by some highlight tagline of the release.
- Attach the
amp.zip
build to the release. - Add changelog entry to the release, link to compare view comparing previous release, and link to milestone.
- Make sure “Pre-release” is checked.
- Use the new plugin version as the tag (e.g.
- Publish GitHub release.
- Create built release tag (from the just-created
build
directory):- do
git fetch --tags && ./bin/tag-built.sh
- Add link from release notes.
- do
- Make announcements on Twitter and the #amp-wp channel on AMP Slack, linking to release post or GitHub release.
- Bump version in release branch, e.g.
…-alpha
to…-beta1
and…-beta2
to…-RC1
Contributors who want to make a new release, follow these steps:
- Create changelog draft on Wiki page.
- Gather props list of the entire release, including contributors of code, design, testing, project management, etc.
- Update readme including the description, contributors, and screenshots.
- Draft release post.
- For major release, draft blog post about the new release.
- For minor releases, make sure all merged commits in
develop
have been also merged onto release branch. - Check out the branch intended for release (
develop
for major,x.y
for minor) and pull latest commits. - Do
npm install && composer selfupdate && composer install
. - Bump plugin versions in
amp.php
(×2: the metadata block in the header and also theAMP__VERSION
constant). Verify vianpx grunt shell:verify_matching_versions
. Ensure patch version number is supplied for major releases, so1.2-RC1
should bump to1.2.0
. - Do
npm run build
and install theamp.zip
onto a normal WordPress install running a stable release build; do smoke test to ensure it works. - Optionally do sanity check by comparing the
build
directory with the previously-deployed plugin on WordPress.org for example:svn export https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/amp/trunk /tmp/amp-trunk; diff /tmp/amp-trunk/ ./build/
(instead of straightdiff
, it's best to use a GUI likeidea diff
,phpstorm diff
, oropendiff
). - Draft new release on GitHub targeting the required branch (
develop
for major,x.y
for minor):- Use the new plugin version as the tag (e.g.
1.2.0
or1.2.1
) - Attach the
amp.zip
build to the release. - Add changelog entry to the release, link to compare view comparing previous release, and link to milestone.
- Use the new plugin version as the tag (e.g.
- Run
npm run deploy
to commit the plugin to WordPress.org. - Confirm the release is available on WordPress.org; try installing it on a WordPress install and confirm it works.
- Publish GitHub release.
- Create built release tag (from the just-created
build
directory):- do
git fetch --tags && ./bin/tag-built.sh
- Add link from release notes.
- do
- For new major releases, create a release branch from the tag. Patch versions are made from the release branch.
- For minor releases, bump
Stable tag
in thereadme.txt
/readme.md
indevelop
. Cherry-pick other changes as necessary. - Merge release tag into
master
. - Close the GitHub milestone (and project).
- Publish release blog post (if applicable), including link to GitHub release.
- Make announcements on Twitter and the #amp-wp channel on AMP Slack, linking to release post or GitHub release.
- Bump version in release branch. After major release (e.g.
1.2.0
), bump to1.3.0-alpha
ondevelop
; after minor release (e.g.1.2.1
) bump version to1.2.2-alpha
on the release branch.
