# Hostgator WordPress Plugin
WordPress plugin that integrates a WordPress site with the HostGator control panel, including performance, security, and
update features.

# 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.php` line 14) - this is used in the plugin php code.
- the constant HOSTGATOR_PLUGIN_VERSION (`wp-plugin-hostgator.php` line 34) - this is used by WordPress.
- in the package.json version value (`package.json` line 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.
