    Hi all, my name is Alex, I am a product manager with SmartFrame Technologies. We have developed a technology to protect images on the internet and would like to create a WordPress plugin. In order to provide this protection this plugin needs to upload those images to our API and swap tags in the template with our SmartFrame web component. Within a free registered account we provide 2 GB of storage. From the Developer Guidelines it sounds doable, but we are not 100% sure since this technology depends on our external API, swaps content in the template and has a storage limit too.

    Who could help to find out if we completely comply with the WP Guidelines?

    Moved to Everything else WordPress, this is not a Developing with WordPress topic. You’re asking WordPress.org process question.

    Who could help to find out if we completely comply with the WP Guidelines?

    For all plugin submission questions please send the details to plugins[at]wordpress.org. Please include the details, not just a link to this topic and someone will reply back to you.

    Please wait for a reply. As you can guess that group gets a lot of email.

    There are many plugins that have done this kind of thing before, so it wouldn’t surprise me if you can do it too. I would just note that you need to be super transparent with your users and make sure you make your code GPL. Good luck!

    I’d be more concerned about someone creating a plugin to steal the protected images. I’ve never seen anyone in 34 years put their time into this. Interesting to see.
