<h4>About</h4>
The WordPress ecosystem has never offered a simple solution for managing content between environments. Since its inception, one problem persists: granular deployment of content and configurations.
You develop on a test site and want to send only certain content to your production site. With existing tools, two scenarios often occur: creating duplicates… or having to overwrite the entire database. The constraints imposed by the diversity of plugin ecosystem operations have already caused several attempts to fail.
We are convinced that a solution is possible.
That’s why we designed Deploy & Sync Content: a new approach, designed to finally offer selective synchronization between your environments.
<h4>Main Features</h4>
The free version offers unidirectional synchronization (Production → Staging/Local), ideal for simply transferring your content and media between your sites.
For bidirectional synchronization and advanced features, check out the Pro version(https://wp-deployer.io/en/features).
Intelligent database merging: The plugin detects existing content to update or create it as needed. You thus maintain the consistency of your environments and avoid any loss of information.
Unidirectional synchronization (free version): Production → Staging/Local: quickly transfer your content and media between your sites.
Data conflict management: The tool identifies and allows you to resolve differences before import, ensuring updates without loss.
Automatic ID mapping: Avoid duplicates and inconsistencies related to page builders and ID references.
Preservation of content relationships: Posts, taxonomies, media and metadata remain correctly linked after each synchronization.

<h3>External Connections</h3>
This plugin enables you to deploy WordPress plugins to remote servers via FTP or SFTP. All connections are made exclusively to servers that YOU configure with YOUR own credentials.
<h4>What Gets Connected</h4>
<ul>
<li>Your Own Servers Only: The plugin connects only to FTP/SFTP servers that you manually add in the settings</li>
<li>User-Controlled Credentials: All server addresses, ports, usernames, and passwords are provided by you</li>
<li>No Third-Party Services: No data is sent to any service controlled by the plugin author or any third party</li>
</ul>
<h4>What Data Is Sent</h4>
<ul>
<li>Plugin Files: When you initiate a deployment, the plugin uploads the selected WordPress plugin files to your specified servers</li>
<li>When: Data is sent only when you manually trigger a deployment action</li>
<li>Where: Data goes only to the FTP/SFTP servers you have configured</li>
<li>No Tracking: The plugin does not send any analytics, usage data, or personal information anywhere</li>
</ul>
<h4>Connection Protocols</h4>
<ul>
<li>FTP: Standard File Transfer Protocol connections to your servers (typically port 21)</li>
<li>SFTP: Secure File Transfer Protocol over SSH to your servers (typically port 22)</li>
<li>Both protocols require you to provide server credentials and are used solely to upload plugin files to your own infrastructure</li>
</ul>
<h4>SSH2/SFTP Protocol Usage</h4>
This plugin uses the PHP SSH2 extension to establish SFTP connections to your remote servers. When SFTP is selected (port 22), the plugin uses the SSH2 protocol and the <code>ssh2.sftp://</code> stream wrapper to securely transfer files.
What it is: SSH2 is a PHP extension that implements the SSH2 (Secure Shell) protocol, enabling secure file transfers via SFTP. The <code>ssh2.sftp://</code> is a PHP stream wrapper that allows file operations over SFTP connections.
What it’s used for: The SSH2 extension is used to establish secure SFTP connections to your configured remote servers for uploading plugin files. This provides encrypted file transfer capabilities.
What data is sent: When you deploy plugins via SFTP, the plugin sends: 
* Plugin files (as ZIP archives and extracted files) to your configured SFTP servers 
* Authentication credentials (username and password) to establish the SFTP connection 
* File transfer commands and directory operations
When: Data is sent only when you manually initiate a deployment action through the plugin’s admin interface.
Where: All connections are made to SFTP servers that you configure with your own server addresses, ports, and credentials. No data is sent to any third-party service.
PHP SSH2 Extension: This plugin requires the PHP SSH2 extension (<code>php-ssh2</code>) to be installed on your server for SFTP functionality. The SSH2 extension is an open-source PHP extension that implements the SSH2 protocol. For more information about the SSH2 protocol, visit: https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.ssh2.php
Privacy: All server credentials are encrypted using WordPress salts before being stored in your database. The plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any data to external services beyond the SFTP connections you configure.
For your security and legal protection, all server credentials are encrypted using WordPress salts before being stored in your database.
