I'm embarrassed to say that I am a bit clueless on the procedure used to update a plugin via tortoise svn even though my plugin has been on the repository for years and had over 300,000 downloads! there's a lot of questions about svn here but they've only confused me further :-z somehow I've managed so far but I need to know the proper procedure for updating my plugin to the new version with regards to committing the trunk and …
I installed wordpress with apt, which ties in a lot of directories, so I suspect that using the built-in core update tool will break the installation; but wordfence constantly demands that I update using said tool -- which is probably much more up-to-date than the linux distro repository. Do I have to wipe it out and start over in order to resolve this annoying bind?
I've been able to work out how to programmatically get the installed plugin version numbers for all the plugins on a site, and the current available version numbers from the repository... but how can I find out what the current available version is for plugins like Gravity Forms that aren't in the repository? I'm looking for something similar to what the WordPress plugin page is doing when it shows than an update is available - I want to be able …
In my template files I have a lot of WP_Query to get posts of an author or from a specif category ecc... I'm thinking to use Repository Patter in order to have cleaner code and a layer between database and theme. This PostRepository class will have some methods like: - getByID - getByAuthor - getByCategory Could be a good idea? Have somebody use somethink like this?
We have a WordPress-based website that provides documentation to our REST API. Since our API is constantly changing, so is the documentation. However, we would like to keep the documentation version controlled so it can be matched against API commits. Is there a way to have WordPress pages get their content from a remote repository (GitHub, for example)? Or is there a way to push content to WordPress from some repository?
When going through your own plugin details and checking the active version downloads. It's helpful to see which version that webmasters prefer, but I see no details on the subject on WordPress (and on here, yet). I recently had an unexpected change in stats, and I can't find anything as to what the time frame is. What few that I have found are either closed with little or no response, and/or indirectly related. The active version pie chart can be …
I'm developing a wordpress plugin at the moment which I do not want in the Wordpress plugin repository. However I still want to be able to push updates to my costumers from my own API repository. I've been reading quite a bit about this, and one thing that seems to be something about is the pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins filter, however I can't find much info about this. I've tried this tutorial (http://konstruktors.com/blog/wordpress/2538-automatic-updates-for-plugins-and-themes-hosted-outside-wordpress-extend/) which I couldn't get working. I can tell from the …
I've just published the first update for one of my WordPress plugins but I'm not sure if it was successful. I had a few errors in previous attempts to commit to the SVN repository, so I tried it with a utility called SmartSVN, which says that the commit was successful, but I can't find it in my WordPress Repository account, even though I can find it in my SVN logs: $ svn log ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r1591738 | xxxxxx | 2017-02-08 14:19:48 …
I am looking for a guide/guidance to create a proper custom wordpress repository for themes and plugins hosted on a website hosting account. I do not want to host it on github.com or anywhere else. I searched in google but without any success so far. Anyone could help?
Sorry for the name. Not sure how to succinctly title this one. I have a plugin available on the WordPress.org repo. It's the Encrypt Email plugin. The laptop I was using to develop/maintain it died. Now I want to resume development of on my work pc. But I'm not sure how. So how can I clone/pull the repo to my machine so I can resume pushing and committing future changes from where I left off? (As if I was still …
I experience a quite odd behavior of the WordPress Repository, or I am doing something wrong (more likely). So, for my plugin, which is registered in the WordPress Repository, I created a logo and I uploaded it as icon-128x128.png as well as icon-256x256.png in the /assets/-folder. First I only uploaded the small logo and it didn't show up in the search results. I thought, I wait a bit, since the Repository needs sometimes a bit time to react. After this …
I am setting up a Wordpress site into a Git repository, and as a result have moved the wp-content directory outsite of the Wordpress core directory (which is permitted as per http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php). I have moved the index.php and the wp-config.php file into the root directory, and edited the following line to include the Wordpress directory: require('./WordPress/wp-blog-header.php'); In the wp-config.php file, I've added (as per http://efeqdev.com/website-development/this-is-how-we-version-control-and-deploy-our-wordpress-websites-with-git/) : define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://dev.example.com/WordPress'); define('WP_HOME', 'http://dev.example.com'); define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-content'); define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://dev.example.com' . '/wp-content'); Yet when …

When I update/upgrade a plugin, theme, or even the core of WordPress, it has an impact in the database, it changes many things. How do I keep track of it? The problem is that I have a repository, all the changes made to the files are all correctly tracked, but I don't have any idea how to create an SQL file to store the database changes (alter, insert, update, drop, create, etc.). I use a tool, which is Flyway, that …
We have written a few plugin which are available on the wordpress.org public repository for example - and I see that other authors have a link to their profile and a count of the plugins they're added, which would be a nice way to show other plugins we're produced - but how to do it? The sidebar on plugins we released looks like this: Do we need to add something extra to the readme.txt - or what is the trick …
I'm co-authoring a white paper on utilising WordPress as a foundation for a web-app, I would like to change the repository that the core WordPress updates from, the latest additions of automatic updates in 3.7 are very nice, but how would I go about pointing some installations at a custom server repository of mine? I understand the principals behind custom plugin and theme repositories, but updating the core is a necessity. I think that it queries api.wordpress.org, but what about …
According to the codex Themes are required to use theme-slug (or a reasonable facsimile) as textdomain for translation Does this mean that my theme needs to include a textdomain even if my theme doesn't support translation? ... and also is there any harm in including a textdomain in style.css if there are no translation options.
Considering using flot for graphs in plugin and a little lost with dependencies and licensing here. WordPress repository demands GPLv2-compatible. flot is under MIT license, which is GPL-compatible. flot uses excanvas (for IE compatibility) under Apache License 2.0 which is compatible to GPLv3, but not v2. So is or is not flot compatible to repository? Aside - I had started wiki-style question if you want to suggest and discuss alternative libraries Graphing libraries for WordPress

Basically I want a page where users can go and upload files via an upload file dialogue. Then I want to have a page that lists all user-submitted files that is sortable. I have seen some tutorials on how to add an upload option to a users dashboard, but I'm …
