Description
Guild Roster Importer for WoW connects to the Blizzard Battle.net API and renders your World of Warcraft guild data directly on your WordPress site.
It is built for guild websites that want a cleaner, Blizzard-inspired presentation without manually maintaining member lists or character pages.
Main features:
- Admin settings for guild name, realm, region, Battle.net credentials, appearance, and saved displays.
- Shortcode output with selectable roster themes and saved display presets.
- Character profile pages with equipment, stats, specializations, Mythic Plus, raid progress, and professions.
- Daily automatic roster refresh through WP-Cron plus manual sync actions from plugin settings.
- Multiple display configurations for raid teams, rank groups, or hand-picked character lists.
Typical uses:
- Display your main guild roster on a page with one shortcode.
- Create multiple saved displays for raid teams, rank groups, or hand-picked character lists.
- Let visitors open character profile pages with equipment, specialization, dungeon, raid, and profession data pulled from Blizzard.

External Services
This plugin connects to an external service to load World of Warcraft data. Static presentation assets are bundled locally with the plugin.
Battle.net API is used to request an OAuth access token and retrieve guild, roster, character, Mythic Plus, raid, profession, and other World of Warcraft profile data. The plugin sends the configured region, guild name, realm, character names, Battle.net client ID, and Battle.net client secret when the site owner saves plugin settings, refreshes the guild roster, opens a character profile page, or when a scheduled sync runs.
Some Battle.net API responses include Blizzard-hosted media URLs for character portraits, character renders, and item icons. When those images are needed, the plugin fetches them server-side and stores cached local copies in the WordPress uploads directory, so visitor pages load the local cached files instead of third-party image URLs.
