Manage Existing Connections

The Deployments feature on WordPress.com lets you manage and track code deployments from your site’s Deployments tab. View connections, monitor details, trigger deployments, check logs, adjust settings, or disconnect repositories—all in one place.

Manage connections

To manage your existing connections:

1. Visit your site’s wp-admin dasard and navigate to Hosting → Overview (or Settings → Hosting Configuration if using the default interface style) if you haven’t already done so.
2. Click on the Deployments tab.
3. You should then see the connections list. 

The connection list is shown if there is at least one connection between a repository and your site. The list includes relevant information for each connection, such as the repository name and branch, the last commit that was deployed to a site, when it happened, where the code was placed, how long the deployment run took, and its status.

There are additional actions available after clicking the ellipsis menu (three dots):

• Trigger manual deployment: Starts a deployment run on the latest commit of the configured branch.
• See deployment runs: Opens the deployment run logs view for the connected repository.
• Configure connection: Opens the manage connection view for the repository.
• Disconnect repository: Removes the connection between the repository and the site.

Disconnect a repository

When you disconnect a repository from your site, any future changes to the repository will no longer impact your site. By default, the deployed files remain on your site, but you have the option to remove them during the disconnection process.

To remove a repository:

1. Click the ellipsis menu (three dots) on the repository.
2. Select “Disconnect repository“.
3. A dialog window will appear. Click the switch to remove associated files from the site.
4. Click “Disconnect repository” to close the dialog and disconnect the repository.

Note that WordPress.com for Developers will still appear in your Installed Apps and your Authorized Apps. This is because WordPress.com still has access to the repository, but the connection has been deleted.

Disconnect WordPress.com from

You may also choose to revoke WordPress.com’s access to your account. You can do so at any time by visiting your Applications settings on . 

To revoke authorized app access to your account:

1. Go to Authorized Apps.
2. Click Revoke next to WordPress.com for Developers.
3. Click the “I understand, revoke access” button.

Even if you revoke authorized app access, code can still be deployed because the WordPress.com for Developers app remains installed on the selected accounts.

To revoke access to the WordPress.com installation and disable the ability to deploy code to your WordPress.com site:

1. Go to Installed Apps.
2. Click Configure next to WordPress.com for Developers.
3. In the Danger zone area, click Uninstall, then click OK when prompted.

Removing WordPress.com from the list of authorized apps does not mean that the repositories will be deleted or stop working; your repositories will still exist on after you revoke WordPress.com’s access, but WordPress.com will no longer be able to deploy code.
