Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

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/thisgals/tgd-site-kit/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Updates itself. It ships its own updater, so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.
Readme github.com/thisgals/tgd-site-kit ↗

A WordPress plugin from This Gal's Design: the on-site SEO and site-health pieces we put on the sites we look after, in one plugin, with each part switched on per site.

Every module is off when the plugin is activated. Activating it changes nothing on the front end until a module is switched on under Settings → TGD Site Kit (administrators only).

Modules

Module What it does
Jarvis connector A read-only REST route, GET /wp-json/tgdsk/v1/status, for administrators: WordPress, PHP, theme and plugin versions, which updates are waiting, auto-update settings, and which kit modules are on.
Analytics tag Prints the GA4 tag in the head, the same tag Beehive Analytics prints, with an import of Beehive's settings. Prints nothing while Beehive, Site Kit by Google, or another tag for the same measurement ID is on the page.
SEO meta Titles, meta descriptions, canonical, robots, Open Graph and Twitter cards, per post, per term and as site defaults; WordPress's own sitemap, with SmartCrawl's sitemap URLs redirected to it; robots.txt. Imports from SmartCrawl and reproduces its output, so a site can switch without its head tags changing. Prints nothing while SmartCrawl is active.
Schema One JSON-LD @graph per page: the business (LocalBusiness or a subtype, with address, hours, areas served and profiles), the website, a typed page node with breadcrumbs, an article on blog posts credited to the post's author or to the business (BlogPosting by default; a site upgraded from 0.2.1 stays off until a type is picked), services on the pages that carry them, extra nodes per page, and extra properties as JSON for the business (sitewide) and for a page's own node. Imports SmartCrawl's schema settings and a hand-written schema plugin's per-page fields. Prints nothing while SmartCrawl's schema or another JSON-LD graph is in charge, and leaves a page's own breadcrumbs or page node to the theme when it already prints one.

Switching a module off stops its output and keeps its settings. Uninstalling deletes the plugin's own options and leaves post, term and user meta alone, because SEO values are part of a site's content.

Requirements

WordPress 6.5 or later, PHP 8.1 or later. No other plugins are required.

Installing

Download tgd-site-kit.zip from the latest release and upload it under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.

Updates

Once installed, the kit updates like any plugin from wordpress.org: new releases appear under Dashboard → Updates, and WordPress's own auto-update toggle on the Plugins screen works for it.

  • The kit checks this repository's latest GitHub release, without any token, at most every 12 hours (an hour after a failed check). It only offers final releases, never drafts or prereleases.
  • Every release carries tgd-site-kit.zip and tgd-site-kit.zip.sha256. Before WordPress installs an update, the kit checks the zip against that SHA-256 and refuses it on any mismatch, so a swapped or corrupted asset is never installed.
  • If GitHub can't be reached, nothing happens: no update is offered and no notice is shown.
  • A copy with a .git folder (a development checkout) is never offered updates.

Releasing

From a clean working tree on main:

  1. Set the new version in both places in tgd-site-kit.php: the Version: header and the VERSION constant. Commit.

  2. Build: php tools/build-release.php vX.Y.Z. It refuses to build if the tree has uncommitted changes or the versions don't match the tag, and writes build/tgd-site-kit.zip and build/tgd-site-kit.zip.sha256.

  3. Tag and push: git tag vX.Y.Z and git push origin main vX.Y.Z.

  4. Publish:

    gh release create vX.Y.Z build/tgd-site-kit.zip build/tgd-site-kit.zip.sha256 --repo thisgals/tgd-site-kit --title "X.Y.Z" --notes "What changed"

Sites see the release within 12 hours.
