Description:

This project is for those who are WORDPRESS Developers, practically to create "Child Themes" of any parent Theme.

Get Started

• Clone this repository and asign the folder name

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/oswaldohuillca/wp-dev-kit-started.git your-theme-name

This command will clone the project inside folder your-theme-name

• Install all NPM depencencies with npm, yarn, pnpm or bun.

pnpm install

• Install all PHP dependencies with composer

composer install

• Copy .env.example to .env file.

cp .env.example .env

• Run Development mode.

pnpm dev #or
yarn dev #or
bun dev #or
npm run dev

• Build the project

pnpm build #or
yarn build #or
bun run build #or
pnpm run build

• Compress the project inside .zip file, keep in mind the files that you must include within the .zip. You can check the file package.json

 "files": [
    "core/**/*",
    "dist/**/*",
    "partials/**/*",
    "templates/**/*",
    "footer.php",
    "functions.php",
    "header.php",
    "page.php",
    "style.css",
    "...otherFiles"
  ]

• To change the name of your compressed file archiver.js. In this case the name of the zip will be generatepress_child.zip

const ZIP_NAME = 'generatepress_child'
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename)

const output = fs.createWriteStream(`${__dirname}/${ZIP_NAME}.zip`)
const archive = archiver('zip', {
  zlib: { level: 9 } // Sets the compression level.
})

• Finally run npm run zip to generate your WORDPRESS CHILD THEME

pnpm zip #or
yarn zip #or
bun zip #or
npm run zip #or

• Upload the zip file in your page with WORDPRESS.
