Gitlab support for remote css

[tippl]

Hi,
I am creating our WordCamp website for Düsseldorf/Germany right now. For this I use the remote css feature.

When I tried to add the style.css I learned that only a Github link is accepted. I would like to use Gitlab instead of Github. What is the reason for this limitation?

Hey Manja,

You are working locally, right? You can use the "wcrcss_trusted_remote_hostnames" filter to add gitlab.com to the list. This might get you started while waiting for this ticket to be resolved.

<?php
add_filter( 'wcrcss_trusted_remote_hostnames', function( $trusted_hostnames ) {
  $trusted_hostnames[] = 'gitlab.com';
  return $trusted_hostnames;
} );

Best of luck with your WordCamp!

Remote CSS uses a safelist approach ​for security reasons, but it'd be great to add more popular platforms, and GitLab would be perfect.

The only reason we haven't already is just that there's always more work to do than people to do it, but if anyone wants to contribute a patch that'd be great. You could look at ​github.php as an example.

It'd be good to update the contextual help docs as well.
