External Repositories v1.1.2 released

What’s new in v1.1.2

This update brings a few useful enhancements and refinements to improve usability and flexibility:

  • 🚸 Network-only visibility on multisite installs On multisite setups, External Repositories is now visible only in the network admin. Since configuration is global, showing the plugin in individual sites wasn’t necessary and just added clutter. This inspired a new option: you can now hide the plugin UI entirely via Screen Options, making the integration even more seamless. For maximum transparency, we recommend enabling automatic updates for this plugin.
  • 🪝 Improved external_repositories filter It’s now easier to register repositories programmatically. You no longer need to manually provide an empty id or a default url: if those are missing, the default registry https://registry.wp-content.io/ will be used automatically. This is especially useful for scalable deployments, such as adding a configuration file in a MU-plugin.

  • 📝 New help screen A contextual help tab has been added in the settings page to make onboarding smoother.
