This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/astappiev/wp-pot/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Creating a Module

Create includes/modules/class-my-module.php:

<?php
namespace Pot\Modules;

class My_Module extends \Pot\Module {
    public function get_metadata(): array {
        return [
            'name' => 'My Module',
            'description' => 'Module description',
            'category' => 'performance',
            'default' => true,
            'dependencies' => [],
        ];
    }

    public function load(): void {
        add_action('init', [$this, 'init']);
    }

    public function init(): void {
        // Your code here
    }
}

Modules in includes/modules/ are auto-discovered. Categories: performance, security, media, seo, admin, content, general.
