Very useful plugin, works like a charm!

By Andrija Naglic (andrija) on May 10, 2024

I had a client that has a bit unusual server setup so we had problems setting up GitHub Actions and making them work.
The client has paid for the Pro version since our repositories are private.

Everything worked like charm - after pushing my changes I simply went to wp-admin and clicked a button to pull the changes from GitHub.
We have 3 repositories on that website.

Then I realized that each repository has a special deployment link, so I created GitHub Action to do a GET request to that URL, and that worked like a charm, even behind the basic auth that the website uses.
So now our changes get deployed automatically.

Definitely a great and simple solution than setting up the pipelines which always cause problems on different platforms.

Good job!

EDIT:

I found 2 features I'd like to see in the next version:

- An option to define the folder name
My GitHub repository is not named the same as I'd like the plugin's folder to be named.
Currently, there's no way to influence that.

- The name of the last commit included in the log file
It's rather hard to quickly confirm that all my last commits got deployed.
Currently, it's almost 1am where I am, but the server is set to a different time zone so it's still yesterday.
When I checked the logs, the date of the last entry was 1 day behind my current date.
The reason I even checked the logs is because the browser has hashed my CSS so I couldn't see all the changes.
Having the last commit message would help quickly confirming that everything was deployed properly.

Perfect Plugin for Theme- and Plugin-Developers

This Plugin is really one of our best friends now in our dev-agency every-day-life. Perfect featureset, nice integration, fair price-tag. Thanks for creating this! :D

Works well for syncing a repo with your theme files

By patareco on March 11, 2024

If you want a simple way to sync a repo with your files, this is probably the most straightforward plugin. Asked the developers to support for custom gitlab domains and within a day I got the featuerd implemented.

Looking forward to continue to use this plugin in the future.

Very useful!

By krj10 on January 24, 2024

This plugin is a must have in any project. We will be using it on all our projects for now.

Thanks the gods that it has a option to flush our cache. Very well thought.

10/10! Well done

By nikola1994 on January 17, 2024

Saves me so much time. It's easy to use and the support is super quick and accurate. 10/10 would reconmend!!

A good solution for the devs

By olha0888 on December 28, 2023

So far so good, we actively use this plugin in our team to push theme changes hosted on bitbucket.

I also really like the feature to flush cache on the website. We use WP Rocket and every time we push changes it flushes everything. Before I needed to configure it manually by adding "add_action", but now it's not needed. PS devs, please add the support of other populate caching plugins.

Brilliant Plugin

By joshstraw84 on December 27, 2023

This plugin makes life MUCH easier. I reached out to the developers to confirm it's reliable, and they came straight back to me confirming they are actively updating it, and ensuring functionality works.

I can say from first hand experience that it works great without a single hiccup. That's worth a quick review. Well done guys!
