SSH Pros WordPress Site

Local development setup for sshpros.com.

Requirements

• Docker Desktop
• Git

Local Setup

1. Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:sshpros/sshpros-site.git
cd sshpros-site

2. Create a .env file

Create a .env file in the project root with these values:

MYSQL_DATABASE=sshpros
MYSQL_USER=sshpros
MYSQL_PASSWORD=sshpros
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=sshpros

3. Start Docker

docker-compose up -d

4. Import the database

Ask a team member for the latest database export (database.sql). The export comes from All-in-One WP Migration and uses SERVMASK_PREFIX_ as a table prefix placeholder — replace it on import:

sed 's/SERVMASK_PREFIX_/wp_/g' database.sql | \
  docker exec -i sshpros-site-database-1 mysql -u sshpros -psshpros sshpros

Then update the site URL to localhost:

docker exec sshpros-site-database-1 mysql -u sshpros -psshpros sshpros -e \
  "UPDATE wp_options SET option_value='http://localhost:8080' WHERE option_name IN ('siteurl','home');"

Then do a deep URL replacement so Elementor and post content point to localhost:

docker exec sshpros-site-wordpress-1 bash -c \
  "wp search-replace 'https://sshpros.com' 'http://localhost:8080' --allow-root --recurse-objects --skip-columns=guid"

5. Remove the live site's object cache

The live site uses a Memcache object cache that doesn't exist locally — remove it:

docker exec sshpros-site-wordpress-1 rm -f /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php

6. Increase PHP memory limit

The full plugin set needs more than the default 128M:

docker exec sshpros-site-wordpress-1 bash -c \
  "echo 'memory_limit = 512M' >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini"
docker restart sshpros-site-wordpress-1

7. Activate all plugins

docker exec sshpros-site-wordpress-1 bash -c "wp plugin activate --all --allow-root"

8. Flush Elementor CSS cache

docker exec sshpros-site-wordpress-1 bash -c \
  "wp eval '\Elementor\Plugin::instance()->files_manager->clear_cache();' --allow-root"

9. Log in

Go to http://localhost:8080/wp-admin.

Ask a team member for credentials, or reset a user's password:

docker exec sshpros-site-wordpress-1 bash -c \
  "wp user update <username> --user_pass='newpassword' --allow-root"

The site should now look identical to the live site at sshpros.com.
