SpawnWP Deploy is now officially available on WordPress.org 🎉

[tts-empire]

We are happy to announce that SpawnWP Deploy is now officially available in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/spawnwp-deploy/

This gives the optional SpawnWP companion plugin a single, trusted stable release channel. New releases can now reach WordPress sites through the standard WordPress update system, while new environments created from the SpawnWP cockpit can install the current stable release automatically.

What SpawnWP Deploy does

SpawnWP Deploy can capture an already configured WordPress site — including its content, settings, uploads, plugins and themes — as a reusable blueprint on your own SpawnWP server. You can then create fresh, isolated environments from that blueprint whenever you need them.

From a site created inside a SpawnWP cockpit, the plugin can also perform a guarded, one-time transfer to a separate, fresh WordPress installation.

The plugin remains optional: creating and managing normal SpawnWP environments does not depend on it.

If you already use a preview build

Earlier preview versions were installed from ZIP files distributed outside WordPress.org. To move onto the official update channel:

1. Make sure no blueprint capture or deployment is running.
2. Take a normal site backup before replacing the plugin.
3. Open Dashboard → Updates and select Check again.
4. If WordPress offers an update for SpawnWP Deploy, install it normally.
5. If no update appears, download the official latest-stable ZIP.
6. Open Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, upload the ZIP, and choose Replace current with uploaded.
7. Confirm that SpawnWP Deploy is active and no longer reports a development version ending in -dev.

You normally do not need to uninstall the old plugin first. The official release uses the same plugin slug, so replacing the files moves the existing installation onto the WordPress.org release channel.
