Docs

VelvetPress turns a git push into a WordPress update notification. These docs walk you through the full pipeline — from connecting your repo to the update your customers click in wp-admin.

New to VelvetPress? The Quick Start is the skim — under fifteen minutes from forking the starter theme to seeing the update land in wp-admin.

Going deeper

The Quick Start links into longer guides for each step. The sidebar lists every page in recommended reading order.

• Developer onboarding — account, GitHub App, product configuration.
• Publishing a plugin or theme — what triggers a release, versioning, manifest shape.
• Installing on a customer WordPress site — the client plugin, the API key, what site admins see.
• WordPress admin settings — field-by-field reference for the Settings → VelvetPress screen, including the badge states and the wp-config.php override.
• Troubleshooting — symptom-first guide to the most common failures across the push → build → update path.
• Update manifest reference — the polling endpoint customer sites hit, with curl examples.
