Projects Manager for GitHub<\/strong> allows you to showcase your GitHub portfolio on your WordPress site effortlessly. Simply enter a GitHub username, and the plugin will fetch all public repositories. You can then import specific repositories as \"Projects\" (Custom Post Types) to your site.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin imports:\n* Repository Name & Description\n* Star, Fork, & Watcher Counts\n* Primary Language & Topics\n* Creation & Update Dates\n* Full README content<\/strong> (displays below the project details)<\/p>\n\n

It integrates seamlessly with your active theme, ensuring your header, footer, and styles remain consistent.<\/p>\n\n

Features<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • AJAX-based Fetching:<\/strong> Search for any GitHub user and fetch their repositories instantly without page reloads.<\/li>\n
  • One-Click Import:<\/strong> Add repositories to your site with a single click.<\/li>\n
  • Duplicate Prevention:<\/strong> Checks if a repository already exists to prevent duplicates.<\/li>\n
  • Clean Integration:<\/strong> Uses WordPress's standard the_content<\/code> filter to append repository data, ensuring compatibility with almost all themes and page builders.<\/li>\n

    External Services<\/h3>\n\n

    This plugin connects to the GitHub API<\/strong> (api.github.com) to fetch public repository information. This is required for the core functionality of displaying GitHub repositories on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n

    What data is sent:<\/strong>\n* GitHub username (when searching for repositories)\n* Repository owner and name (when fetching README files)<\/p>\n\n

    When data is sent:<\/strong>\n* When you click \"Fetch Repository\" in the admin dashboard\n* When you import a repository to create a new project (to fetch README content)<\/p>\n\n

    Service provider:<\/strong>\n* GitHub, Inc.\n* Terms of Service: https:\/\/docs.github.com\/en\/site-policy\/github-terms\/github-terms-of-service\n* Privacy Policy: https:\/\/docs.github.com\/en\/site-policy\/privacy-policies\/github-privacy-statement<\/p>\n\n

    Note:<\/strong> This plugin uses the public GitHub API which does not require authentication. No personal data from your WordPress site or your users is sent to GitHub.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Upload the plugin files to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/projects-manager-for-github<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
    3. Go to the GitHub Projects<\/strong> menu in your dashboard.<\/li>\n

      \n

      Why do I see a 404 Page Not Found error when viewing a project?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      This is a common issue with new Custom Post Types in WordPress.\nSolution:<\/strong>\n1. Go to Settings > Permalinks<\/strong> in your WordPress dashboard.\n2. Scroll down and click the Save Changes<\/strong> button. You do not need to change any settings; simply clicking save flushes the rewrite rules and fixes the 404 error.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does this plugin require a GitHub API Key?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No, it uses the public GitHub API, which allows for a reasonable number of requests without authentication.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will this work with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes! The plugin is designed to inject repository details into your theme's standard content area, so it respects your theme's header, footer, and styling.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
