Vendor folders for plugins and themes with a composer.json are built and deployed automatically via .github/workflows/deploy-vendors.yml on every push to trunk or staging. It can also be triggered manually via Actions → Run workflow in the GitHub UI.

The workflow uses GitHub Environments to keep production and staging credentials and server URLs separate. The active environment is selected automatically based on the branch:

1. Create the environments

Go to Settings → Environments and create two environments: production and staging.

2. Add secrets to each environment

Under each environment, add the following secrets (same names, different values):

The destination server and paths are hardcoded in the workflow file itself (sftp://sftp.wp.com/htdocs/wp-content/.../vendor/).

To include a new plugin or theme in the automated vendor deployment:

1. Edit .github/workflows/deploy-vendors.yml and add a composer install step:

- name: Install dependencies (your-package-name)
  working-directory: plugins/your-package-name   # or themes/your-package-name
  run: composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader --no-interaction

Add an upload step immediately after:

- name: Upload your-package-name vendor folder
  if: ${{ inputs.dry_run != true && hashFiles('plugins/your-package-name/vendor/**') != '' }}
  uses: Automattic/FTP-Deploy-Action@3.1.2
  with:
    ftp-server: sftp://sftp.wp.com/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/your-package-name/vendor/   # or themes/your-package-name/vendor/
    ftp-username: ${{ secrets.SFTP_USER }}
    ftp-password: ${{ secrets.SFTP_PASSWORD }}
    local-dir: plugins/your-package-name/vendor/   # or themes/your-package-name/vendor/
    git-ftp-args: --all
    known-hosts: ${{ secrets.SFTP_KNOWN_HOSTS }}

No additional secrets or variables are needed.
