What are you trying to do with WordPress-GitHub Sync? The plugin is designed for syncing your post content with GitHub, not code.

The configuration for the api is incorrect. The first field, “GitHub hostname”, should be “https://api.github.com” unless you’re using an Enterprise git repo.

You should be able to do this by filtering the meta on the way in & out of WordPres. See the filters documentation for more information: https://github.com/mAAdhaTTah/wordpress-github-sync/wiki/Customizing-WordPress-GitHub-Sync-with-Filters

I’ll say the same thing about GitLab that I said about BitBucket:

https://github.com/mAAdhaTTah/wordpress-github-sync/issues/172

In regards to the error you’re getting, do you see any error output of any kind? What about errors in your logs?

Will it have any SEO impact as the duplicate content will be in Github Repo?

Honestly, I have no idea. I had assumed not, but I’m not an SEO expert and don’t know if GitHub content is indexed.

Secondly, Is everybody able to add/modify content from github, instead of WP Backend?

Yes, anyone who can edit the content on GitHub gets that content synced to the site. However, only the master branch is synced in this way, so you can protect that branch so only particular people are allowed to merge/publish content.

Did you create a Persona Access Token on GitHub and update the settings with it in the plugin? You use that instead of your username/password to avoid storing the password in the database.

This is resolved in the latest version.

Being tracked here: https://github.com/mAAdhaTTah/wordpress-github-sync/issues/149

Can you please share some of these errors? I can’t help you without more information.

It doesn’t look like the repo exists:

You need to create the repo with an initial commit first.

Hi Ben,

I responded on your GitHub issue:

https://github.com/mAAdhaTTah/wordpress-github-sync/issues/136

Let me know if you have additional questions, but please pick a single venue (GitHub or here) for follow-ups.

Thanks!

Latest version no longer translates folder names for default post types.

Marking as resolved, let me know if you experience this issue on the latest version.

Assuming you mean exporting from one WP install to import into another through a GitHub repo: It might be possible, but it hasn’t been written with that in mind. The biggest issue is that the post IDs won’t match between two different installs, so I don’t know what kind of issues that will cause and/or how WordPress will deal with that, unless you’re starting one of them from scratch.

Every git repo has (or should have) a master branch where the latest and greatest code lives. WPGHS only imports posts/pages from this branch so the content on your site is in sync with the latest and greatest. This allows you to use git as you normally would (branches, PRs, etc.) and only have it show up when you merge into master.
