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/dhanson-wp/tufte-projects/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.

A Projects post type for showcasing plugins, themes, and tools, with fields synced from WordPress.org and GitHub.

Description

Tufte Projects adds a Projects post type for showing off the plugins, themes, and tools you've built. Each project has a type, a set of tools, and fields such as version, license, requirements, and download link.

  • Fields fill in from WordPress.org and GitHub twice a day, and you can override any of them by hand.
  • Block Bindings put those fields into any template or pattern, and empty rows hide themselves.
  • Templates for a single project and the projects archive come with the plugin. A block theme can override either one.
  • Four patterns cover project cards, features, install steps, and FAQs.
  • A sidebar panel in the editor shows synced values and offers a "Refresh now" button.

It was built for the Tufte Blocks theme and works with any block theme.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/, or install it from the Plugins screen.
  2. Activate it. Projects appear in the admin menu.
  3. Add a project, enter a WordPress.org slug or a GitHub URL, and save.

To sync from the command line, run wp tufte-projects sync [<id>].

Changelog

0.1.1

  • A sync won't wipe a project's release date and download link anymore when GitHub rate-limits, times out, or errors on the latest release. It'll keep the last good values, and only a real "no releases" answer clears them.

0.1.0

  • First release. The Projects feature moves out of the Tufte Blocks theme into this plugin, with the same post type, taxonomies, fields, and block binding, so existing projects keep working.
