Research direction
Start by reading WordPress/wordpress_azure_ci_cd.md and verify the documented Deployment Center flow against the issue's linuxFxVersion command and linked Microsoft guidance. Done means the page explains the sitecontainers limitation, how to identify the provisioning model, and the manual GitHub Actions workaround.

Description
Description
Summary
The CI/CD documentation at WordPress/wordpress_azure_ci_cd.md states that GitHub source integration is available for WordPress images using PHP 8.2 or greater. However, it does not mention a critical limitation: apps provisioned using the newer SiteContainers model (linuxFxVersion = "sitecontainers") do not have the Source Integration UI available in the Azure Portal Deployment Center.
Observed Behavior
When a WordPress app is provisioned from Azure Marketplace and the resulting app has:
"linuxFxVersion": "sitecontainers",
The Deployment Center blade shows only the Containers / Logs / FTPS Credentials tabs. The Source tab (GitHub / Azure Repos integration) is absent entirely.
This affects apps provisioned more recently via the Marketplace WordPress offering, regardless of the PHP version or container image tag used (e.g., mcr.microsoft.com/appsvc/wordpress-debian-php:8.4).
Expected Behavior
The documentation should:
- Clarify that the portal-based source integration setup described in
wordpress_azure_ci_cd.mdis only applicable to apps wherelinuxFxVersionis notsitecontainers(e.g.,WORDPRESS|8.x). - Document the workaround for
sitecontainers-based apps: CI/CD via GitHub Actions is still possible by manually setting up a workflow, as described in Manually set up a GitHub Actions workflow. - Explain how to identify which provisioning model an app is using (e.g., check
linuxFxVersionvia Azure CLI or Portal → JSON View).
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new WordPress app via Azure Marketplace.
- Navigate to Deployment Center in the Azure Portal.
- Observe that only Containers / Logs / FTPS Credentials tabs are shown — no Source tab.
- Confirm
linuxFxVersion=sitecontainersvia:az webapp config show --name <app> --resource-group <rg> --query linuxFxVersion
Suggested Documentation Addition
Add a note such as:
Note: If your app was provisioned using the SiteContainers model (
linuxFxVersion = "sitecontainers"), the source integration option will not appear in Deployment Center. In this case, you can still set up GitHub Actions CI/CD manually. See Manually set up a GitHub Actions workflow.
