ThemePilot - Remote Demo & Plugin Manager for WordPress Theme Developers

ThemePilot streamlines demo imports and plugin deployment for theme creators. Built for developers, it integrates with One Click Demo Import (OCDI) and TGM Plugin Activation (TGMPA) and lets you serve demo data and plugin packages from any remote endpoint or use local fallbacks. No SaaS lock, fully self-hostable, and reviewer-friendly.
