Action Summary

The GitHub Action converts an uploaded plugin zip artifact into a publicly accessible WordPress Playground link, allowing developers to easily test and deploy their plugins. It automatically handles private-repo artifacts by failing the action if the repository is private. The action supports various optional configurations such as activating themes and plugins upon installation, and provides options to post the link as a sticky comment on pull requests or in GitHub comments.

What’s Changed

First public release.

WordPress Playground Link turns a plugin zip you’ve already uploaded as a GitHub Actions artifact into a one-click WordPress Playground link — install, activate, and land straight on the page you want reviewers to see, no manual setup.

What it does

  • Resolves your artifact to a public URL via nightly.link and builds a Playground blueprint around it
  • Installs and (optionally) activates the plugin, with configurable landing page, WP/PHP version, and multisite
  • Can install extra plugins or a theme alongside it
  • Optionally posts/updates a sticky PR comment with the generated link
  • Verifies the artifact actually exists before building a link, if you pass a token — fails loudly in CI instead of shipping a dead link

Three ways to trigger it

Manual (workflow_dispatch), automatic on every PR push, or label-triggered on demand — all three have complete, ready-to-copy example workflows in the README.

Requirements

Your repository and artifact must be public — nightly.link can’t proxy private-repo artifacts.
