Mapping page contents to a file on file system

  • Currently the only way I know of to edit a static page’s contents on wordpress is to use the backend wsysig/raw editor.

    Instead I’d like to use my own editor and keep the code under source control (rather than using wordpress’ builtin revision keeper that just keeps copies in the mysql backend)

    Is there a plugin that currently does this?

    That’s not how WordPress works. Content is in the database. Give this a look-see https://versionpress.net/

    I know how wordpress works (see OP). I’d like to be able to know if there’s a plugin out there that gives you the option to inject contents from a file instead of the mysql backend. I know for certain that a plugin can be written to do exactly this.

    You could use wp-all-import to manage your content from CSV files, though I wouldn’t recommend it. Nightly backups (or versionpress, as noted above) seem to me to be better.

    I’ve used wp-all-import, it’s not made for this purpose. Aside from that being a bad idea it doesn’t help serve the purpose of being able to use external source control and editing software

    For now I’d simply like to know if there’s a plugin that does what was asked for in the OP, or if such features are to be built into wp down the road.
