About NV oOS Docs Hub
From the official readme · v0.5.3Description
NV oOS Docs Hub discovers, indexes, and renders Markdown documentation in a
GitBook-style single-page app: sidebar navigation, content area, and a
per-page table of contents. Embed it anywhere on your WordPress site via a
shortcode or Gutenberg block.
Out of the box it publishes documentation you upload yourself: drop
Markdown (.md) or text (.txt) files into
wp-content/uploads/nvoos-docs-hub/content/ (subfolders become sections),
rebuild the index, and they appear in the browser. No remote services are
involved.
Optional GitHub import (opt-in, off by default). Enable Remote
Repositories in the settings to import Markdown from any public GitHub
repository — no GitHub account required. This is a documentation-import
service: the plugin fetches files server-side, over HTTPS, and only from
api.github.com and raw.githubusercontent.com, then stores them in a
local cache on your server. No requests are made unless you enable the
setting, configure a repository, and trigger a rebuild. All scripts,
styles, fonts, and images are bundled locally — nothing is loaded from a
remote server. See External Services below for the full disclosure.
Key features:
- Publish Markdown uploaded to
wp-content/uploads/nvoos-docs-hub/content/— zero configuration, zero remote calls - Optional import from public GitHub repositories with per-repo file/folder selection
- Full-text search via the REST API with FlexSearch client-side fallback
- GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, fenced code blocks
- Custom
:::note,:::tip,:::warning,:::dangercallout blocks - Syntax-highlighted code blocks, last-modified dates, and “Edit on GitHub” links
- Broken-link detection with one-click fix suggestions (local sources)
- Light and dark themes with CSS custom properties
- Two-layer cache (filesystem + WordPress transients)
- Async chunked rebuilds with a live progress panel — no more long single-request builds
- WP-CLI support:
wp nvoos-docs rebuild / clear / status - Nightly cron rebuild; also triggered on plugin activate/deactivate
- Indexed pages included in the WordPress sitemap
[nvoos_docs]shortcode andnvoos/docs-hubGutenberg block
Optional NV oOS integration. If the NV oOS base plugin
(https://github.com/nvdigitalsolutions/mcp-ai-wpoos) is active, the addon
additionally auto-discovers the docs/ folders of the base plugin and every
installed addon, and surfaces rebuild progress in the base plugin’s cron-status
drawer.

The complete, human-readable source code for this plugin — including the
TypeScript/React source for the bundled assets/dist/docs-hub.js bundle — is
publicly available in the plugin’s GitHub repository:
https://github.com/nvdigitalsolutions/nvoos-docs-hub
The frontend bundle is generated from the src/ directory with esbuild:
npm install— installs the frontend dependencies (React, esbuild, etc.).npm run build— runsnode esbuild.config.js --prodand writes the
minifiedassets/dist/docs-hub.jsandassets/dist/docs-hub.css.
The repository also contains the WordPress.org packaging and CI pipeline
(.github/workflows/, bin/), the PHPUnit test suite (tests/), and the
.wordpress-org/ listing assets.
Third-Party Libraries
The bundled assets/dist/docs-hub.js frontend is built from TypeScript/React
sources in the public repository and includes the following open-source
libraries (all GPL-compatible licenses; MIT unless noted):
- React and React DOM (MIT) — https://react.dev
- React Markdown (MIT) — https://github.com/remarkjs/react-markdown
- React Router (MIT) — https://reactrouter.com
- FlexSearch (Apache-2.0) — https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch
- Lowlight and highlight.js language grammars (MIT / BSD-3-Clause)
- The unified/remark/rehype ecosystem: remark-gfm, remark-directive,
remark-frontmatter, rehype-slug, rehype-autolink-headings,
rehype-highlight, unist-util-visit (MIT) and github-slugger (ISC)
Build and test tooling (esbuild, ESLint, TypeScript, Vitest) is not shipped
in the distribution ZIP. The complete dependency graph and its licenses are
listed in package.json and package-lock.json in the public repository.
External Services
This plugin provides an optional documentation-import service, disabled
by default: remote requests happen only after an administrator enables
Remote Repositories in the settings, configures at least one repository,
and triggers a rebuild. When enabled, the plugin fetches Markdown files
from public GitHub repositories, stores them locally in the uploads cache,
and renders them in the documentation browser. Fetched content is cached
on your server, so visitors are served from the local cache, not from
GitHub.
All requests are made server-side only, over HTTPS, and only to the two
hosts listed below. Every request is restricted to these hosts (all other
hosts are rejected, including private and reserved IP addresses), carries a
bounded timeout and a 4 MB response-size cap, and only happens after an
administrator has enabled the Remote Repositories setting, configured a
repository, and a rebuild is triggered — manually, via WP-CLI, by the
nightly cron, or automatically when the cache is invalidated (a related
plugin is activated, deactivated, or updated).
No requests are made unless the Remote Repositories setting is enabled and
a repository is configured.
No account is required for public repositories. An optional GitHub
personal access token can be saved in the settings to raise GitHub’s API
rate limits; it is stored server-side and sent only to the two hosts below.
api.github.com— repository and tree metadata used by the file/folder
picker and the indexer.raw.githubusercontent.com— raw Markdown file content fetched during
index rebuilds.
The plugin does not send any personal data to these services — it only
fetches the public repository content exactly as GitHub serves it. Rendered
documentation pages display the repository content as authored, which may
include links and images pointing at github.com,
raw.githubusercontent.com, or user-images.githubusercontent.com; those
are loaded by the visitor’s browser directly from the source repository,
not through the plugin or your server.

This plugin also offers an optional, opt-in checkout for the NV oOS
Complete bundle — the full NV oOS plugin (base + Pro), which is a
separate plugin sold off-directory by NV Digital Unlocked LLC (the seller
of record, under license from NV Digital Solutions). The checkout opens
only when an administrator clicks “Get NV oOS Complete” on this
plugin’s own settings page; nothing runs in the background and the free
plugin is complete without it. No Stripe keys ship in this plugin — the
vendor’s own checkout server creates and verifies payments, and Stripe.js
is loaded from js.stripe.com only when the purchase modal opens.
All checkout requests are user-initiated, server-side only, over
HTTPS, and only to:
nvdigitalsolutions.com— the vendor checkout API
(/wp-json/nvoos-checkout/v1/): creates the Stripe payment session and
verifies the completed payment, issuing the license key and a signed,
expiring download URL. Sent: product name, site URL, Stripe payment
intent ID, buyer email, buyer country, Terms-consent timestamp.js.stripe.com— Stripe’s payment form (loaded by the browser when the
modal opens). Card details are entered in Stripe’s own iframe; this
plugin never sees them.github.com— only an HTTPS download of the purchased ZIP (a signed
vendor URL, or the public release asset fallback); no data sent.
Purchases require explicit agreement to the Terms of Service and Refund
Policy (consent timestamp recorded with the purchase) and a buyer email
address for the receipt. The Terms of Service and Refund Policy for the
vendor service are published at https://nvdigitalsolutions.com/terms-of-service
and https://nvdigitalsolutions.com/refund-policy.
Installation
- Upload the
nvoos-docs-hubfolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins admin screen.
- Add your Markdown files to
wp-content/uploads/nvoos-docs-hub/content/(created automatically), go to Settings → NV oOS Docs Hub, and click Rebuild Index. - Add
[nvoos_docs]to any page to display the documentation browser.
To import documentation from a public GitHub repository instead, go to
Settings → NV oOS Docs Hub → Remote Repositories, enable the setting,
and add your repositories.
To also index local NV oOS documentation, activate the NV oOS base plugin and
enable the base, addons, or root sources under Settings → NV oOS Docs
Hub → Advanced — local filesystem (legacy).
Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin require the NV oOS base plugin?
No. Out of the box it publishes Markdown files from wp-content/uploads/nvoos-docs-hub/content/. If the NV oOS base plugin is active, additional local sources (the base plugin’s docs/ folder and installed addons) are discovered automatically.
Can I index docs from a GitHub repository?
Yes. First enable Remote Repositories under Settings → NV oOS Docs Hub, then add a repository and either index the whole repository, restrict it to a folder prefix, or use the “Browse files in repo…” picker to select individual files and folders.
Which file types are indexed?
Only .md and .txt files up to 2 MB in size (local sources) or 4 MB (remote sources).
How do I exclude specific files?
Use the nvoos_docs_hub_excluded_globs filter to return an array of glob patterns (relative to each source root) that should be excluded.
Can I restrict public access to the docs?
Yes. Use the nvoos_docs_hub_can_read_section filter. Return a WP_Error or false to block unauthenticated REST access. You can also restrict at the shortcode level with the nvoos_docs_hub_can_render filter. Alternatively, turn off Allow Public (Guest) Access in the settings to require a WordPress login for all docs.
How is the cache invalidated?
Automatically when any plugin is activated or deactivated, after NV oOS plugin updates, on a nightly scheduled cron job, and via a version-mismatch guard that rebuilds when the installed plugin versions no longer match the cached index. You can also rebuild manually from the settings page, via WP-CLI, or via the REST API (requires manage_options).
Changelog
Reliability release — the docs index no longer goes blank while a rebuild runs after a settings save or plugin update. Recommended for all users.
0.5.3
- Changed: settings saves and plugin updates no longer wipe the documentation index while the rebuild runs — the previous index keeps serving until the new build is promoted atomically, so a stalled background rebuild can never leave the docs empty.
- Fixed: standalone installs (base plugin not active) with WP-Cron disabled could stall the background rebuild — each settings save or admin visit now advances it.
0.5.2
- Added: optional “Get NV oOS Complete” upsell on the settings page (shown only while the Complete bundle is not active) with an in-dashboard Stripe checkout — payment sessions are created and verified by the vendor checkout service at
nvdigitalsolutions.com; no Stripe keys ship in the plugin, and the purchase modal opens only on click. - Added: after a purchase, the license key is stored locally and the bundle is offered for automatic install (manual ZIP download is always available); the installer refuses when another copy of NV oOS already exists.
- Added: admin-only
payments/session,payments/verify, andpayments/healthREST routes under/wp-json/nvoos-docs/v1/, with per-user rate limiting. - Added: new filters —
nvoos_docs_hub_checkout_*(vendor URL, price, versions, legal URLs, EU country list).
0.5.1
- Changed: the uploads content folder moved from
wp-content/uploads/docs/towp-content/uploads/nvoos-docs-hub/content/— nested inside the plugin’s slug-named uploads directory, per the WordPress.org plugin guidelines. Existing content is migrated automatically on activation or first admin visit. - Added: automatic one-time migration of the pre-0.5.1
wp-content/uploads/docs/folder (best-effort, never overwrites existing files, symlinks are never followed).
0.5.0
- Added: local-first default — the plugin now publishes Markdown files dropped into
wp-content/uploads/docs/out of the box, with zero remote calls. - Added: “Enable Remote Repositories” opt-in setting (off by default). Remote GitHub import now requires enabling the setting, configuring a repository, and triggering a rebuild. Existing installs that already use remote repositories keep them enabled automatically.
- Security: the local-source scanner now resolves symlinks before its containment check, so a symlinked subfolder cannot leak files from outside the docs folder.
- Changed: remote import is gated server-side (scanner and file-picker endpoint) whenever the setting is off.
0.4.8
- Changed: the readme Description now explains the documentation-import service up front — the servers contacted (
api.github.com,raw.githubusercontent.com), that no account is required, that requests happen only on administrator-configured rebuilds, and that no plugin assets are loaded remotely. - Changed: the remote-repository fetcher’s host allowlist and fetch code now reference the readme’s External Services disclosure.
0.4.7
- Fixed: removed the “Tested up to” line from the plugin headers — it is declared only in the readme.
- Fixed: the daily rebuild cron is now scheduled on
initinstead ofplugins_loaded, which prevented “translation loading triggered too early” notices on WordPress 6.7+ when other plugins register translated cron schedules. - Changed: rebuild cron events are cleared when the plugin is deactivated, and deactivating the plugin no longer enqueues a rebuild that could never run.
- Changed: the readme now discloses the bundled third-party libraries and their licenses and lists every automatic rebuild trigger in the External Services section.
