Description
Contributor Team Matcher presents contributors with a short quiz and uses a tag-based scoring algorithm to recommend the Make WordPress contribution team that best fits their profile. The top match is displayed as a prominent card; four runner-up teams are shown below it.
The plugin is fully configurable from the WordPress admin — questions, answers, teams, and tag weights can all be edited, added, or removed without touching code.
How the matching algorithm works
- The contributor answers all quiz questions.
- Each selected answer contributes a list of tags to a shared pool.
- Tags are tallied (duplicates increase the count).
- Every team is scored:
score += tag_weight x tag_countfor each matching tag. - Teams are sorted by score. The highest scorer is the primary recommendation; the next four are shown as secondary suggestions.
Default teams
The plugin ships with 23 Make WordPress contribution teams: Core, Design, Mobile, Accessibility, Polyglots, Support, Documentation, Themes, Plugins, Community, Meta, Training, Test, TV, Marketing, CLI, Hosting, Tide, Openverse, Photos, Performance, Sustainability, and Security.

Changelog
1.0.7
- Standardised the plugin text domain to
find-your-teamto match the WordPress.org slug. - Renamed internal identifiers from the
CTM_/ctm_prefix toCONTTEMA_/conttema_— constants, class names, include filenames, nonces, and AJAX actions on the PHP side, and the localized data object (ctmDatatoconttemaData) on the JavaScript side. - No functional or behavioural changes; this is a naming/consistency release.
1.0.6
- Fix: The admin tab links (Questions / Teams / Usage) now point at the top-level
admin.php?page=contributor-team-matcherpanel instead ofoptions-general.php, so navigating between tabs no longer bounces to the Settings screen. - Docs: README updated to reference the top-level menu rather than “Settings Contributor Team Matcher”.
1.0.5
- Feature: Gutenberg block
contributor-team-matcher/quizregistered viablock.json. Editors can insert the quiz from the block inserter without typing the shortcode. The block is server-side rendered and shows a styled placeholder in the editor. - Bump: Version synced across plugin header, version constant, and readme.
1.0.4
- Fix: Moved hidden quiz inputs inside their
<label>elements so custom radio/checkbox indicators render correctly in all browsers. - Fix: Extended CSS to hide native
input[type="radio"]elements and style them with the custom dot indicator (circular for radio, square for checkbox). - Fix: Switched CSS selectors to
:has()now that inputs are descendants of labels rather than preceding siblings. - Code quality: Full pass against WordPress Coding Standards (WordPress-Extra + WordPressVIPMinimum) — 0 errors, 0 warnings.
- Bump: Plugin header version synced with the version constant.
1.0.3
- Feature: Per-question Answer Type setting in the admin. Each question can be independently set to Single answer (radio) or Multiple answers (checkbox, up to 3).
- Admin UI: Answer Type toggle added to each question accordion item, with a “Single” / “Multi” badge in the accordion header.
- Frontend: Question rendering now branches on question type — radio questions render circular indicators with
role="radiogroup"; checkbox questions keep the existing multi-select logic.
1.0.2
- Feature: Changed quiz from single-select radio buttons to multi-select checkboxes allowing up to 3 selections per question.
- All five default questions updated to support multiple selections.
