Wordpress plugins not deployed to Google App Engine

Question

I have installed a couple of Wordpress plugins on my local development server. When I deploy to the cloud, however, my plugins are not available.

I understand that the read-only file system prevents updating plugins from the deployed app as per this blog post , but is there a trick to getting locally installed plugins to deploy?

Answer 1

When you install the plugins on your local server, it should work when you deploy. No need for a trick.

Make sure you install the plugins to the plugins directory in your wordpress project which you deploy, and make sure you enable the plugins on the production server
