Modern Journalist Wordpress Theme

WordPress site for Reporting on International Affairs. Developed from the _s starter theme.

Quick-start Instructions

If setting up the project for the first time:

1. Follow the instructions in the "Install Local" and "Connect Local to WP Engine" sections in this blog post.
2. Follow the instructions in the "pull to Local from WP Engine" section to pull the "CSIS Journalism Development" Environment to your local machine
3. Navigate to the directory where Local created the site: eg cd /Users/[YOUR NAME]/Local Sites/csisjournalism/app/public
4. Initiate git & add remote origin. This will connect your local directory to the Git Repo and create a local main branch synced with the remote main branch.

$ git init
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:CSIS-iLab/journalism_wp.git
$ git fetch origin
$ git checkout origin/main -ft

If project is already set up:

To begin development, navigate to the theme directory and start npm.

$ cd wp-content/themes/modern-journalist
$ npm install
$ npm start

This project also includes custom Gutenberg blocks, which can be worked on at:

$ cd wp-content/plugins/jourblocks
$ npm install
$ npm start

CI/CD

GitHub Actions will automatically build & deploy the theme to the development environment on WPE based on the settings specified in the deployment workflow.

• The WPE_ENVIRONMENT_NAME: ${{ secrets.WPENGINE_DEV_ENV_NAME }} setting will be deployed to the WP Engine Development Environment. The Development environment should be used to demo new features.
