How to Apply for Our Thought Leadership Program

If you want to write for us and get featured on the WP Tech Support blog, please read and follow the following guidelines thoroughly.

  1. Targeted Technical Topics: We primarily seek content that aligns with our core expertise: WordPress performance, security, complex custom code fixes, and technical SEO.
  2. Getting published: If your article meets our requirements, we will publish it and let you know it’s live.

The quality of content:

  1. Content must be helpful and add value to users’ knowledge. Can you share your knowledge and create content that solves problems or helps readers level their knowledge?
  2. High-quality:  The article must be well-researched, written in grammar-proof English, and strictly plagiarism-checked. We want the best for our readers, so the quality of the content is essential.
  3. Unique and original content:The contributor warrants that the content is 100% original, unique, and technically accurate. Upon acceptance, the contributor agrees to indemnify WP Tech Support against any and all claims, liabilities, or damages arising from a breach of content integrity (e.g., plagiarism, copyright infringement, or faulty code).”
  4. Give credit: Cite or link to relevant and credible sources (outgoing links to high authority websites and internal links). Both types of links are compulsory.
  5. Minimum Expertise: Contributors must be established developers, security analysts, or performance engineers with a minimum of 3 years of verifiable experience directly related to the article’s technical domain.
  6. Depth of Expertise: Focus on providing definitive, solution-oriented content. Articles must fully answer a complex technical query (e.g., advanced PHP optimization or database troubleshooting), prioritizing unique insights over generic length requirements.
  7. Image/Visual Specification: Images must be high-resolution (e.g., 1200px wide) and must include descriptive Alt-Text for accessibility compliance.
  8. Copywriting technique: Use simple, short, and comprehensive sentences and paragraphs. Proper use of keywords, etc. Use proper headings, subheadings, lists, and bullets wherever possible.
  9. Grammar-proof writing
  10. Mandatory Bio Requirements: The contributor must provide their full legal name, verifiable professional titles, and links to professional digital profiles (e.g., LinkedIn, verified company profile, GitHub/Stack Overflow).
  11. Accountability: The author takes full responsibility for the technical accuracy and potential operational impact of the code or instructions provided.
  12. Affiliate/Paid Link Policy: All compensated links, affiliate links, or promotional links, including those in the author bio, must use the rel='sponsored' attribute (preferred) or rel='nofollow'.
  13. External Link Quality: All cited external sources must be authoritative, trustworthy, and secure (HTTPS). Prohibit linking to direct competitors or to unsecured (HTTP) external sites.
  14. Anchor Text Rule: Anchor text must be natural, descriptive, and contextually relevant to the destination page, prohibiting aggressive exact-match optimization.

What is rejected?

We reject any article that does not fulfill or violate the guidelines under ‘Type of Content’ and ‘Quality of Content.’

In addition, below are some cases in which your article was rejected:

  1. Link building: Any article intended for a link-building scheme will be rejected immediately.
  2. Marketing: We will reject any article created only for marketing purposes, including biased and affiliate-based articles.

Initial Screening Process

Submissions undergo a 3-Stage Review (Initial Screening, Technical Vetting, Final Editorial Decision).

  1. Technical Check (Format, Code Standards)
  2. Plagiarism Check
  3. Author Verification

State that content must be substantially original. Reused or syndicated content (even if the author’s own) must add significant new data, analysis, or practical findings.

We mandate the use of WordPress Coding Standards where applicable, clear code block formatting, and strict adherence to image requirements (including Alt-Text).

All submissions are subject to validation by industry-standard integrity tools. Any content scoring above 5% for non-cited similarity or detected as AI-generated will result in immediate rejection and permanent blacklisting

We can edit our contributors’ content for minor changes (we will provide the final draft to the respective guest author before publication).

*We reserve the right to accept or reject the submitted articles. 

*In case of violation of the guidelines, the articles will be directly rejected, and any further queries will not be entertained after that.

How do I submit?
