Questions the author answers
How is WPGraphQL funded?
WPGraphQL is free and open-source. It is supported by contributors, backers, and sponsors, including Automattic, which provides significant support as WPGraphQL becomes a Canonical Plugin.
Learn more about supporting WPGraphQL on Open Collective.
Can I use WPGraphQL with xx JavaScript framework?
Yes! WPGraphQL works with any client that can make HTTP requests to the GraphQL endpoint. It integrates seamlessly with frameworks like Next.js, Gatsby, Astro, and more.
Where can I get support?
You can join the WPGraphQL Discord community for support, discussions, and announcements.
How does WPGraphQL handle privacy and telemetry?
WPGraphQL uses the Appsero SDK to collect telemetry data only after user consent. This helps improve the plugin while respecting user privacy. When telemetry is enabled, the same payloads are also mirrored to WPGraphQL-operated infrastructure at https://telemetry.wpgraphql.com. You can opt out at any time under GraphQL → Settings.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
