Improved WordPress Deployment Screen UI and Misc Documentation and UI Updates

Deployment Page Improvements

Freemius offers a fully managed deployment solution for various WordPress products — including Plugins, Themes, Templates, Widgets, and more. Among the many features, we take care of Free and Premium version generation, license activation, and pushing updates to your buyers’ sites.

Deployment page UI - Freemius Developer Dashboard

We realized that many of these features weren’t well surfaced in the deployment page UI. So, we’ve rolled out an update to better expose the most commonly used features, such as:

  1. Deployment Automation – With our community-powered GitHub Action and other libraries.
  2. Paid and Free Version Generation – Clearer information on how these versions are generated.
  3. Release Management – Documentation on using staged rollouts and incremental versions.
  4. Composer Integration – Guidance on leveraging Freemius’ built-in Composer support.

We’ve also updated our documentation to reflect these enhancements. In addition, we’ve opened up the relevant API endpoints to work with your product’s Bearer Token — allowing you to create new versions directly from your CI/CD pipeline.

We hope these updates help you streamline and automate your version deployments more effectively.

License Unit Customization

We’ve published new documentation covering license unit customization for SaaS and App products.

To help surface this feature better, the pricing page UI now displays a tooltip near the license unit until it’s customized.

Fixed Sidebar Drawers

We identified and resolved a UI regression affecting sidebar drawers in Dark Theme mode.

The drawers now render correctly across both light and dark themes.
