Release Notes
Introduction WPCloudDeploy 5.0 is going to be the largest release we’ve done in quite a while. In fact, it might be the largest release since the original version 1.0. It’s chocked full of a ton of some of the most requested features in our public roadmap. The top two requests are now a reality along with a number of other…
In preparation for the release of WPCD 5.0, we have made a number of updates to all our providers. Please note: All providers now require WPCD 5.0 and will not work with earlier versions. Do not upgrade them unless you have already upgraded WPCD core. Please see the WPCD 5.0 upgrade notes for more information and the correct steps for…
For the entire life of WPCloudDeploy all our integration efforts have gone toward Public Cloud services such as DigitalOcean, AWS, Vultr, Linode etc. Our only nod to private clouds was our Custom Server provider. This lack of integrated support was because private clouds are a whole different breed. Each private cloud is different – after a baseline installation, everything else…
With WPCD 5.0 on the horizon we have added a lot of goodies to our WooCommerce modules that take advantage of all that WPCD 5.0 has to offer. If you’re building WaaS products and services you’ll love some of the stuff we’ve introduced here. New: Combined Plugin We used to have two WooCommerce add-ons – one for selling site subscriptions…
In WPCloudDeploy 4.16.2 we slipped in a new feature focused on developers. We weren’t planning on releasing it until V4.17 but it was ready so we slipped it into a fast-ring point release. Internally we just call it ‘post-processing scripts’. In the simplest terms, it allows you to setup a remote bash script that will execute just before the end…
In this release of our Power Tools add-on we are adding a number of cool, but non-critical features. These include: An option to create and display images of your home page in the site listing New options for running backups and callbacks more frequently An option for automatically restarting servers An experimental option related to site syncing (copy to server).…
WPCD 4.16 is a release with a lot of tweaks affecting many areas of the application. It is also a technical release where we’re: Resetting certain defaults Continued doing the internal work necessary to bring the code closer to compliance with WP coding standards and Adding some foundations for future features. It includes a few minor breaking changes: An update…
The latest release of our add-on that allows you to sell site subscriptions with WooCommerce is all about flexibility in handling template sites and providing new options on checkout User Registration On New Template Sites The metabox for designating template sites has been expanded from a single checkbox to a multi-option primary metabox. When you create a new site from…
Our February 2022 release is another nip-and-tuck release with no major new features – just smaller features and tweaks. New: Support For Disabling or Enabling DigitalOcean Backups You can now choose to automatically enable or disable Digital Ocean backups when creating a new server. In prior WPCD versions, we always forced the backups to be turned on with every new…
We released our PowerTools add-on back in December 2020 and now we’re following it up with a new release containing one primary new feature and a bunch of tweaks. New: Key Charts Instead of trying to describe this feature, we’ll just show you how it looks and let the ole’ “A picture is worth a 1000 words” adage do its…
WPCloudDeploy v4.14.0 is a release focused on cleaning up the REST API and making it ready to be officially supported by our technical support team. We started the work for the api back in V 4.11.0. And, in our 2021 wrapup article we mentioned that the API would be a major focus in 2022. Thus, staying true to our promise…
The Initial set of REST API endpoints for WPCloudDeploy have been available as a preview feature in the fast-ring releases for a few months now. Since the first release we’ve spent some time tightening down those endpoints and introduced a couple of additional ones by building out a sample application outside of WordPress. Here are a a few screen shots…
