Installation

Warning

Pre-alpha. HOF hasn't shipped a public build yet. This page captures the planned install paths. Bookmark and check back.

planned install paths

1. zip upload (when alpha lands)

1. Download hooked-on-facets.zip from the Releases page.
2. WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
3. Upload, activate, done.

2. composer (recommended for dev shops)

composer require shepdesign/hooked-on-facets

3. git (for contributors)

cd wp-content/plugins
git clone https://github.com/Shepdesign/hooked-on-facets.git
cd hooked-on-facets
composer install
npm install
npm run build

activation

After activation, HOF will:

1. Create its custom index tables
2. Add a top-level HOF menu in the admin
3. Run a first-time indexer (this can take a few minutes on large catalogs)

Tip

If you're on a host with low PHP timeouts and a huge catalog, the indexer is queued and chunked. You don't have to babysit it.

uninstalling

HOF is built to leave nothing behind. Deactivate + delete = clean exit, including index tables. (Opt-in retention coming for sites that want to keep their config across reinstalls.)
