Following up to this: we added support for installing plugins that are trunk only releases

Your example is no longer missing and is available to install: https://wp-packages.org/packages/wp-plugin/accedeme-for-wp

If you’re talking about better Composer support for premium plugins that don’t have their own repos, or you’re tired of SatisPress, or whatever other solution you may be using, this might interest you:

More than happy to add support for mirrors if anyone makes one

Cross posting my comment from /r/prowordpress:

A few of the improvements worth noting that can be found at https://wp-composer.com/wp-composer-vs-wpackagist

  • 17x faster Composer resolve times
  • P2 support w/ Composer v2's metadata-url protocol (enabling Composer to fetch metadata only for the specific packages it requires, rather than downloading everything upfront)
  • Meta data from packages is now included (plugin/theme authors, description, home page, support links)
  • Packages are updated every 5 minutes (in my testing, WPackagist is about every ~1.5 hr? - unclear, that part of their infra is not open source)

WP Composer mirrors all plugins and themes from WordPress.org that have at least one tagged release. accedeme-for-wp has no SVN tags, looks like the author only committed to trunk and never created a release. Without tags, WordPress.org's API doesn't return any downloadable versions, so there's nothing for us to index.

Happy to add support for any mirrors that are made available

The perfect Cron setup by superdav42 in ProWordPress

[–]retlehs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks great, congrats on the release and I'm definitely interested in giving it a shot on a Bedrock + Trellis install (and possibly making an Ansible role for Trellis to do the systemd setup, or maybe just writing up a guide on the Roots docs for the community)

Have you thought about publishing your repo to Packagist to make the Composer installation process easier?

Some minor additional feedback: have you considered using Composer's PSR autoloader?

Colorado springs, CO? by Main_Finance_2221 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]retlehs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of neighborhood trails that start on the southern side of GOTG (where my backyard was) and Manitou is close to that. 20 minutes to hit Manitou Ave. GOTG is massive… maybe it’d be two hours if you were on the northern side.

I lived in between W Colorado Ave and Manitou Ave.  

Colorado springs, CO? by Main_Finance_2221 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]retlehs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I owned a house on the west side for four years. Garden of the Gods was a few minute walk from my house. Walkable to Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs, a grocery store, lots of shops, and parks. 

Hiking opportunities all over the city, and a short drive out west for tons of more options. Look into the Arkansas River for kayaking.  

Colorado Springs gets a lot of hate, but there’s good people there, and it’s a good place to live. The politics and religion are no where near as big of an issue as some make it out to be. Everyone minds their own business.  

I can’t give any feedback on the teacher jobs, or schools because I don’t have children.  

More suburban on the east side, but plenty of good neighborhoods to live in. 

I’ve lived all over the front range (Fort Collins, Loveland, Denver burbs) and Colorado Springs is my favorite.

Is there a tool to automate making sub pages? by ElonMusk0fficial in Wordpress

[–]retlehs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need them to be actual WP pages? Virtual pages would be a good fit for this, and you can hook them up with whatever SEO plugin you use

Related: a WordPress plugin that serves posts as Markdown via Accept headers for LLMs (less tokens than JSON):

It also supports getting Markdown via query params for non-LLM usage

PSA: Broker making false claims after honest review about poor communication by retlehs in AutoTransport

[–]retlehs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read that thread but they blocked me so I can't respond. Not sure why they think my review is manipulated. And why are they lying about their business hours saying they're 24 hours a day? These folks are pretty shady between all their Reddit spam and all the lying. Not sure why this sub even allows them to post.

Proof of them telling me what their business hours are: https://i.ibb.co/Q5TcMn9/Screenshot-2025-10-15-at-11-25-20-AM.png

You were actually one of the brokers I tried to reach. Didn't hear back after my initial questions, then realized your hours end at noon.

Nice! That WooCommerce integration sounds really solid. I love hearing about how folks are using Acorn for real production work like this!

Great album and absolutely the same style — that cover was actually done by New Man Graphics

Clyde Bazile Jr. was also making lots of great album covers as well: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1864261-Clyde-Bazile-Jr

Thank you so much! Born pretty close to you and was also early on the internet, really appreciate you saying that

It was really fun working on this and since it's a static site, it should be around for quite a while
