Add paid/private/premium plugin to wordplate

[hocine87]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a private wordpress plugin and paid plugin, but can't find a way to add a custom repo in the installer-paths arrays with packagist etc.

Do you have an idea or official procedure ?

Thanks!

There is no official WordPlate way of doing this. Instead we use Composer together with their installers package. Here is an example of how you can install the commercial* version of ACF:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "package",
        "package": {
            "name": "wpackagist-plugin/advanced-custom-fields-pro",
            "type": "wordpress-plugin",
            "version": "5.6.10",
            "dist": {
                "url": "https://connect.advancedcustomfields.com/index.php?v=5.6.10&p=pro&a=download&k=your-acf-key",
                "type": "zip"
            }
        }
    }
]

Then add it to the require object and it will be installed to the plugins directory.

_{* This requires an ACF license key.}

Ok, but now for activate, i did a composer require my-plugin/my-plugin-pro and composer update and i can't find the plugin in the extensions list in wordpress

Hmm, paste your composer.json file.

I remove my key of pro version in the URL to share here

The composer.json file looks good to me. Not sure what your issue is.

[hocine87]

In VSCode i have this : Unable to load schema from 'https://getcomposer.org/schema.json': Unable to connect to https://getcomposer.org/schema.json. Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND getcomposer.org getcomposer.org:443

So perhaps this the problem ?

[hocine87]

So fixed, The problem is the URL where the composer ZIP creates a folder with the plugin folder. And he create a folder in folder like "my-plugin-pro/my-plugin-pro/"
