WPFolks is where WordPress developers, freelancers, and product makers hang out: profiles, plugins, jobs, events, and a daily community feed. It's free for members and carries no ads. A small group of sponsors makes that possible, and 30% of every sponsorship goes straight back into the community.
WPFolks members are working WordPress professionals: plugin and theme developers, agency builders, freelancers, and product founders. They're the people who choose the hosting, recommend the page builder, and install the plugins their clients live with. When they discover a tool here, it travels.
Your logo sits in the sponsor strip above the footer, so it travels with every plugin, theme, job, and profile page folks visit.
Logo, link, and blurb on a permanent page linked from the site footer.
A guest post under your own byline, quarterly or monthly depending on your plan, edited to the same standard as everything else here.
A featured slot in the emails members actually open.
A full company presence inside the community, up to a dedicated section of the site carrying your name.
30% of every sponsorship goes straight into the WPFolks Community Fund, which backs active contributors however it is most useful: getting to community events, giving a first talk, starting a local meetup. Every recipient and every dollar is public. Your logo doesn't just sit on a page; it visibly helps the people who build WordPress.
Run by one person, priced honestly, delivered reliably.
For the first ten companies. This rate is locked for as long as you keep renewing.
For companies actively marketing to WordPress professionals.
Top billing across the platform.
About guest posts: every one is edited like any other submission, and I will send notes back rather than publish something that does not help the reader. Posts carry a Sponsor post label, and links to your own site use rel="sponsored" so neither of us has a problem with Google. Allowances do not roll over. Sponsors are also folks: post in the community feed as much as you like, same as everyone.
Not ready for a yearly commitment? Sponsor one email issue or a themed campaign. Scheduled around your launch window, not a calendar month I picked.
A single email issue. Fast to book, easy to test.
A 30-day push across the homepage, feed, and newsletter, timed to your window.
A campaign spotlighting a plugin, plus the folks who build and ship with it.
For theme authors, block themes, and studios building custom themes for clients.
A campaign spotlighting e-commerce plugins, agencies, and Woo extensions.
Timed to your release. Homepage, community feed, and the newsletter, in the week it actually ships.
WPFolks is built and run by me, Ankit Panchal, WordPress core contributor across 14 releases. I read every sponsor enquiry myself, so you're talking to the person who decides. If we're a good fit you'll know within a day. If we're not, you'll get a straight answer instead of a slow maybe.
A few details and I'll reply within 24 hours.
