SheetLinkWP & SheetLink Forms
Same product. Same team. Two names explained.
Two Names, One Product
Here is how they relate and why both exist.
SheetLinkWP
- The company and brand name
- Where you buy licenses
- Where you manage your account
- Where you get support
- The website: sheetlinkwp.com
SheetLink Forms
- The plugin name on WordPress.org
- The intended slug:
sheetlink - What you install and activate
- What appears in your WP dashboard
- WordPress.org listing coming soon
Why Two Names?
It comes down to WordPress.org naming guidelines.
The WordPress.org plugin directory has strict naming rules. Plugin slugs must be unique and cannot simply append "WP" or "WordPress" to an existing name. Our intended slug is sheetlink, so the plugin will appear as SheetLink Forms in the directory.
Meanwhile, our brand - SheetLinkWP - is the name of the company, the website, and the product line. The domain sheetlinkwp.com is where you purchase licenses, access your account portal, read documentation, and get support.
This is a common pattern in the WordPress ecosystem. Many plugin companies have a brand name that differs slightly from their WordPress.org slug.
Same Product, Same Everything
No matter which name you see, you are getting the exact same thing.
Same Codebase
The plugin will be identical whether installed from WordPress.org or downloaded from sheetlinkwp.com.
Same Updates
Once listed, updates will be published to WordPress.org and sheetlinkwp.com simultaneously. You always get the latest version.
Same Support
Whether you found us on WordPress.org or sheetlinkwp.com, you get the same support team and priority.
Same Team
SheetLinkWP and SheetLink Forms are developed, maintained, and supported by the same people.

Common Questions
Which name do I search for on WordPress.org?

Are SheetLinkWP.com licenses and WordPress.org installs the same plugin?
Yes. When the plugin is available on WordPress.org, it will be the same codebase as the version you download from your SheetLinkWP.com account. Your license key activates premium features regardless of install method.
