Contributor Résumé

Description

Contributor Résumé turns your WordPress.org contributions into a living résumé you can publish on your own site. Whether you build plugins and themes, translate, take photos, answer support questions, contribute to core or organize events, your profile deserves better than a bare link.

Type your WordPress.org username, check what we find, and publish your résumé page. That’s it. No numeric IDs, no tokens, no code.

One block, everything about you

A single “Contributor Résumé” block (plus a [contributor_resume] shortcode) composes up to fifteen sections, each one you can turn on or off:

  • Profile hero with avatar and real wordpress.org badges
  • Recent impact (contributions over 30 days, 90 days and 12 months)
  • Recent activity timeline
  • Team focus (your share across Polyglots, Support, Core, Meta…)
  • WordPress releases you were credited in
  • Plugins and themes you published, with stats
  • Photos from the WordPress Photo Directory (with a lightbox)
  • Translations (locales, roles and project counts)
  • Support forum activity
  • Core credits by version
  • Time commitment (hours per week)
  • Bio and work history
  • GitHub profile and top repositories (no token required)

Fast by design: zero HTTP requests on the front end

Your visitors never wait. All data is fetched once, cached locally as a snapshot, and refreshed in the background. A public page render performs no external requests at all, and if wordpress.org is ever slow or down, the last good data keeps showing instead of an error.

Yours to style

  • Three skins: Modern, Classic (a printed-CV look) and Mono (a developer/terminal look)
  • Light, dark or automatic (follows the visitor)
  • Accent color (or inherit your theme’s), corner radius, shadow, grid columns, compact layout
  • Animated statistics that count up as they scroll into view, and hold still when the visitor prefers reduced motion
  • Drag to reorder sections; choose what each section shows (for example, how many repos or grid items)
  • A live preview in the settings, with desktop and mobile views
  • Fully theme-overridable templates and documented CSS variables

Good for people, search engines and AI

A well-structured, always-current contributor page is proof of your work — for readers, for search, and increasingly for AI assistants that read structured pages.

External services

Contributor Résumé builds your résumé from your own public contribution data on official WordPress.org endpoints and, optionally, GitHub. It only ever requests your public data, identified by the username(s) you configure. No visitor data is ever collected or sent, and public pages make no external requests at all: data is fetched in the background (when you run the check in the settings, on the scheduled refresh, or with WP-CLI) and then served from a local cache.

WordPress.org (operated by the WordPress Foundation)

Reads your public contributor data to build the résumé: your profile page (name, avatar, badges, impact, team focus, releases, translations, hours, bio and recent activity), the Plugins and Themes directories, the Core credits API, the Photo Directory and your support-forum profile.

  • What is sent, and when: the WordPress.org username you configure, requested from your server when the résumé is first built and when it is refreshed in the background. As with any HTTP request, your site’s IP address is visible to the service. No data about your visitors is sent.
  • When a visitor views the page, their browser loads images (your avatar, plugin and theme icons, and your photos) directly from WordPress.org and Gravatar.
  • Endpoints: https://profiles.wordpress.org/, https://api.wordpress.org/ (plugins, themes and core credits), https://wordpress.org/photos/ and https://wordpress.org/support/.
  • Privacy policy: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/

Gravatar (operated by Automattic Inc.)

Your WordPress.org profile avatar is hosted by Gravatar. The plugin stores the avatar URL that already appears on your public profile and outputs it as a normal image, so a visitor’s browser loads it directly from Gravatar when viewing your résumé, the same mechanism WordPress uses to show Gravatar avatars in comments. The plugin sends no email address; the avatar is identified only by the hash already present in the public URL.

GitHub (operated by GitHub, Inc.) — only when you add a GitHub username

Reads your public GitHub profile and your most-starred public repositories.

  • What is sent, and when: your GitHub username, requested from your server when the GitHub section is built or refreshed. If you add an optional Personal Access Token in the advanced settings (only to raise GitHub’s rate limit), it is sent to GitHub as an authorization header on those requests. The token is stored in your site and never exposed on the front end.
  • When a visitor views the page, their browser loads your GitHub avatar directly from GitHub.

FAQ

Do I need an account, an API key or a token?

No. Your WordPress.org username is enough. A GitHub token is optional and only raises the API rate limit if you ever hit it; the GitHub section works without one.

Which data does it use, and is any visitor data sent anywhere?

No visitor data is ever collected or sent. The plugin only reads your own public contribution data from official WordPress.org endpoints (the plugins, themes, core credits and Photo Directory APIs, your public profile page and support profile) and, if you add a GitHub username, the public GitHub API. Everything is cached locally: profiles and most sources for about a day, core credits of released versions permanently (they never change). Data is refreshed in the background, so the public page itself makes no external requests.

Will it slow down my site?

No. Front-end pages render from a local cache with zero external requests.

Can I choose what to show?

Yes. Every section can be toggled on or off and reordered, globally in the settings or per block. Sections like GitHub and the grids let you pick exactly what and how much to display.

How do I restyle it from my theme?

The block honors your theme’s accent color and exposes CSS variables (prefixed --cvr-). You can also copy any template from the plugin’s templates/ folder to your-theme/contributor-resume/ and edit it there.

Does it work with the block editor and with classic themes?

Both. Use the block in the editor and Site Editor, or the [contributor_resume] shortcode anywhere shortcodes run.

Can I manage it from WP-CLI?

Yes. wp cresume refresh rebuilds your résumé snapshot, wp cresume status shows the per-source cache state, and wp cresume clear-cache empties it (one source or all). Handy on staging or in scripted setups.

What happens when I uninstall it?

By default it cleans up after itself: its settings and cached data are removed when you delete the plugin. If you’d rather keep them for a future reinstall, enable “Keep settings and cached data when the plugin is deleted” in the Advanced settings first.
