  • Perfect solution for managing private plugin updates

    I’ve been using Peak Publisher for managing updates of custom WordPress plugins, and it works perfectly. The setup is quick and straightforward, and the interface is clean and easy to understand. Uploading new plugin versions via drag & drop makes the whole release process incredibly simple.

  • Awesome

    Easy workflow, straight-forward and intuitive UI, and best of all: it just works! This is an amazing tool I never knew I needed, but don't want to go without any more. Keep up the great work!

  • The details displayed for the user's plugin are incomplete.

    After deploying the plugin to the server, the interface for viewing my plugin details lacks a banner and additional tabs.

  • A sometimes arduous task made simple!

    Just started using this plugin at our agency, and it is AMAZING. It's super easy to use because it clearly states instructions and what needs to be included in your plugin with some additional features. The UI is nice and simple as well. One amazing feature for me would be the ability to somehow include the changelog, if possible! Thank you!
