Deploy on your WordPress

Install external-repositories plugin

Prerequisites :

  • An active wp-content.io account (see more)
  • An API Key with read permissions (how to manage API Keys)
  • A WordPress site installed and an account on it with the manage_options capability.

Prepare your WordPress installation

You can download the plugin on the official webpage. After the activation, you will be redirected to the settings page.

Use this page to define your API Key. If you use a wp-content.io account, don't change default parameters. You can find your API Key in the settings section of your dashboard. You can define multiple repositories, just provide a unique name for each one.

Important

It's recommended to use a read-only API Key for your production environment to avoid any security issue.

Explore your plugins

Once the plugin is installed and configured, you can start to use it. You can find a new tab when you go into "Add Plugin" section of WordPress. All your wp-content.io plugins will be available to download in just one click, as if they were installed from the WordPress.org repository.

That's all, you are ready to go! When you push an update, it will be available using the native WordPress update system.
