Downloading WordPress SEO development version

Joost de Valk edited this page Aug 22, 2014 · 3 revisions

When you try to download WordPress SEO by clicking on the "Download ZIP" button, this won't actually work. The Download ZIP button doesn't include submodules and as we require our License Manager submodule, you won't be able to test like that.

The only way of testing the development version is by doing a git pull and updating the submodules. The full syntax is as follows:

git clone git@github.com:Yoast/wordpress-seo.git wordpress-seo
cd wordpress-seo
git submodule init
git submodule update

This will make sure you have the latest version of the plugin with the current versions of submodules. If you want to update an already cloned repository, you can go into the repository directory and type:

git pull
git submodule update

If you want to test with the latest version of the submodules too, add the following:

git submodule foreach git checkout master && git pull
