Releasing Updates
To prepare a release, run the Newfold Prepare Release workflow. Select the release level (patch, minor or major) and the target branch (where the release PR should target, nearly always main), and the source branch (typically develop, but could be another branch for hotfix releases). The workflow will create a release branch with updated versions, build files and language files and then create a PR for review.
This plugin has version number set in 3 distinct places in 2 files:
- the plugin header info (
wp-plugin-hostgator.phpline 14) - this is used in the plugin php code. - the constant HOSTGATOR_PLUGIN_VERSION (
wp-plugin-hostgator.phpline 34) - this is used by WordPress. - in the package.json version value (
package.jsonline 5) this is used by the build step to place the release files within a matching version directory for convenient cache busting.
All 3 instances need to be incremented in conjuction with new releases via github tagging.
Languages & Regions
There are some parts to the hostgator plugin that adapt depending on the region and/or language which is chosen. This not only relies on the language setting (which is set automatically on installs in HostGator Latam Brazil for example), but also on the mm_brand value being set to hostgator-latam and an additional option hg_region being set to BR in the case of Brazil. Features should all function in both US and BR setups. See the region.cy.js and region-help.cy.js cypress integration tests for example.

Releases
Newest 25 of 60 recorded releases. Each count is every asset in that release; expand a row for the breakdown.
No active-site estimate. Release downloads fell from a median of 72k per release to about 20, so sites most likely update through a channel other than these release assets, and the cohort method would only be counting stragglers. Method.
