This is a combination of our WordPress starter theme and a heavily modified WPGulp workflow maintaned by AhmadAwais.
NOTE: This project requires node version 14.0.0! Install this using Node Version Manager
This project uses Gulp, a Node.js task runner and should already be installed as a prerequisite.
Confirm that node and npm are properly installed using the command line:
node --version
npm --version
Additionally, the Gulp command command line must be globaly installed.
npm install --global gulp-cli
You can verify that gulp-cli is installed by running
gulp --version
Finally, portions of this project are built using Composer, and npm postinstall will fail if Composer is not installed. Verify composer is properly installed with:
composer --version
On macOS, ensure command line tools are installed. If they are not, install them using
xcode-select --install
Then, install and update Homebrew. At the time of this writing, past the following into terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew doctor
brew upgrade
Next, install node, gulp-cli and composer:
brew install node gulp-cli composer
After the prerequisites have been met, navigate to your the wp-content/themes/ folder and create a new folder to house your new theme. Inside this folder, run npx prolific-wpgulp
After complete, make sure to read the new README.md file inside your new theme folder.
