The WordPress Foundation 6 Developer Framework is meant to be a starting point for developers to create projects without having third party code/modules within their git repo. This project uses Composer to install WordPress and default plugins as project dependencies. The base theme uses NPM to install script dependencies, and Gulp as the build system. Gulp also uses Babel and Webpack to transpile ES6/ES2015 to ES5 so that you can use the latest ECMAScript syntax.

• git clone https://github.com/Blake-C/wp-foundation-six.git your-project-name
• cd your-project-name
• rm -rf .git
• git init && git add -A
• git commit -m "Initial Commit"
• docker-compose up -d
• docker container list -a - get the id (############) of the general-cli container
• docker exec -it ############ zsh

From here you have two options, auto or manual.

• wp-init - while in the general-cli container
  • You can find the script definition here.

• composer install
• composer update
• cd wp-content/themes/wp-foundation-six/
• npm install
• gulp

• site will load under http://localhost
  • database under http://localhost:8000
    • server: mysql
    • user: root
    • password: root

This process assume you've setup a site using wp-foundation-six and now need to move a production site into your local install fresh.

• git clone your-project-name.git
• cd your-project-name
• docker-compose up -d
• docker container list -a - get the id (############) of the general-cli container
• docker exec -it ############ zsh
• Move your plugins and uploads directories into /wp_content
  • Replace the theme directory as well if not using wp-foundation-six
• Upload database into the wp_foundation_six database
  • Database under http://localhost:8000
  • Make sure you have docker exec'd into the general-cli container
    • wp search-replace https://production.com http://localhost --precise --all-tables
      • Use the same URL in the wp_options table under siteurl
    • wp option update siteurl 'http://localhost/wp'
      • Core WordPress is installed under the wp directory by composer so we need to point the site root to this location
    • Site will load under http://localhost
• In the terminal change directories into the wp-foundation-six theme
  • npm install
  • gulp

• If wp search-replace fails try temporarily renaming your plugins directory and try again.
• If you receive php warnings try disabling plugins you don't need while working locally.
  • wp-rocket
  • wordfence
  • any caching plugins
  • any security plugins
  • mailing plugins
• If the install WordPress interface appears, make sure the siteurl was updated in the wp_options table.
  • siteurl should be http://localhost/wp
• If your database is not found or your site does not load make sure the wp-config.php file has the default values for the project.
  • define( 'DB_NAME', 'wp_foundation_six' );
  • define( 'DB_USER', 'root' );
  • define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'root' );
  • define( 'DB_HOST', 'mysql' );
  • The $table_prefix will be unique for each site, use what is on your database tables. For instance the wp_options table might be ahja_options. ahja_ would be your $table_prefix.
• If your database does not import check the size of you database and make sure the phpmyadmin environment variable UPLOAD_LIMIT is high enough in the docker-compose.yml file.
  • By default it's 300M.

• exit
• docker-compose down
