 * Hello,
 * I am developing a plugin for Elementor addons and would like to submit it to 
   the WordPress.org plugin repository. Before proceeding, I would like clarification
   on the naming guidelines.
 * Specifically, can I use a name such as **“ElementorCode”** or **“ElementCode”**
   for my plugin, or would this conflict with Elementor’s trademark and the WordPress.
   org naming policies?
 * I want to ensure that my plugin name fully complies with WordPress.org submission
   rules and avoids any trademark or guideline issues.
 * Thank you for your guidance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fquestion-regarding-plugin-naming-policy%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * You won’t be able to use names like “ElementorCode” or “ElementCode” because 
   they can conflict with Elementor’s trademark and WordPress.org rules.
 * For full details, please see Elementor’s own **[Trademark Guidelines](https://elementor.com/terms/trademark-guidelines/)**.
   They explain exactly how and when you may or may not use the “Elementor” name.
 * Thanks.

 * **Hello Support Team,**
 * Thank you for your suggestion. I will carefully consider your feedback. I also
   have another concern regarding my other WordPress.org account.
 * I am currently unable to log in to my WordPress.org account because Two-Factor
   Authentication (2FA) is enabled, and I have lost access to my authenticator app.
 * **My account details are:**
    - **Username:** peacefulqode
    - **Registered Email**: _[ email deleted don’t post those ]_
 * I have already reset my password successfully, but I cannot log in without the
   2FA code.
 * Could you please help me disable 2FA so that I can regain access to my account?
 * Thank you for your assistance.

 * Do you have Backup Codes for 2FA?
 * If not, you can contact email [forum-password-resets@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-regarding-plugin-naming-policy/forum-password-resets@wordpress.org?output_format=md)
   for support.

 * Hello,
 * We have already contacted them, but unfortunately, we haven’t received a proper
   solution from them. We initially thought the email we received was auto-generated.
   If there is another way to resolve this issue, please suggest it, as we have 
   important details associated with this account.
 * We hope you understand our concern, as it is very important and urgent for us
   to regain access to this account.
 * Thank you.

 * You ask several questions here that I would like to respond to.
 * > **Hello Support Team,**
 * You are here in the public WordPress forum. Although there is a team of moderators
   here, it is basically users like you and me who help each other. The answers 
   you have received so far also come only from normal users who are voluntarily
   helping you here. See also: [https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/)
 * > I want to ensure that my plugin name fully complies with WordPress.org submission
   > rules and avoids any trademark or guideline issues.
 * Be sure to check out the plugin guidelines: [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/)–
   they describe the naming conventions. The best practices here may also be relevant:
   [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-basics/best-practices/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-basics/best-practices/)
 * And don’t worry: if you violate any of these guidelines when submitting your 
   plugin, you will receive feedback from the plugin team. Review their feedback
   and adjust your plugin accordingly. You can also reply to their emails to explain
   your reasoning. Keep in mind, however, that these are volunteers who may not 
   respond to everything promptly. Be patient. Alternatively, you can also log into
   Slack in #pluginreview and ask your question, but again, be patient.
 * > I am currently unable to log in to my WordPress.org account because Two-Factor
   > Authentication (2FA) is enabled, and I have lost access to my authenticator
   > app.
 * To do so, send an email to [forum-password-resets@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-regarding-plugin-naming-policy/forum-password-resets@wordpress.org?output_format=md)
   and wait for their reply. No one here in the forum will be able to help you with
   this. Please note that these emails are checked by volunteers. Again, you will
   need to be patient, no matter how important this is to you.

 * The plugin guidelines are not about a public poll or opinion. When in doubt, 
   email `plugins[at]wordpress.org` and they can give you a definitive answer for
   your situation.
 * As for the 2FA issue, again that’s not a thing for the forums. You emailed forum-
   password-resets already. You just need to be patient. That email, like you, are
   answered by volunteers.
