Core WordPress

Database Setup

1. Create WordPress databases:

   core
   

   Use the Unicode multi-byte encoding utf8mb4

2. Set permissions using the credentials set here:
   /app/wp-config.php

Back-End Setup

1. Configure your web server (and PHP 5.6+) to serve the dist/ web root, for example: http://local.domain.com

2. From a Terminal, change to the repo’s root directory where you see app/. From here, you’ll need to install Composer to manage PHP packages:

   curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
   

   If you’re using Windows, more complex instructions are required: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-windows

3. Install the Composer packages:

   composer install
   

Front-End Setup

1. Install Node.JS

2. Install Gulp globally (as root/adminstrator):

   npm install -g gulp
   

3. Install dependencies automatically by running:

   npm install
   

4. All files for deployment copied to /dist/

   composer install && gulp
   

5. Output a development build, proxied via BrowserSync

   composer install && gulp dev
   

   This will launch start a local proxy to http://local.domain.com so any code changes will be live-reloaded using BrowserSync into all your open browsers (including mobiles)

WordPress Setup

1. Visit http://local.domain.com and follow the 5-minute install process

2. Set the Permalink Settings to Custom Structure

   /%category%/%postname%/
   

3. Set the theme to Core WordPress
