Click Generate New Plugin. This will deliver a new zip file. Check that your namespace has been correctly generated. 10. Follow these instructions: UPDATING `/lib` files --------------------- [](#updating-lib-files) Lib files come from composer, but you need to ensure you run the command without the composer autoloader: ``` composer update --no-dev --no-autoloader ``` Offline Development Mode ------------------------ [](#offline-development-mode) The plugin uses the GitHub API to fetch the latest copy of the Abstract Plugin Base to include in the plugin. You can alternatively set: ``` define( 'WP_DEV_KIT_AIRPLANE_MODE', true ) ``` to pull the ABP powering this plugin for internet-less development. ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance18 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 53.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
