Cumbersome WordPress process
Raw
cumbersome-wp.md

Right now our process for getting a WordPress site running on a laptop sucks.

I'm writing it all down to help me figure out how to make it better.

  1. Install WordPress in your ~/Sites/sitename folder, or pull down the existing site via FTP to that folder.
  2. Init git repo or check out existing one into proper theme folder.
  3. Set up local MAMP server for project.
  4. Import existing database, or create new one with WordPress configurator.
  5. Configure local wp-config.php to point to appropriate places.
  6. Set up Grunt compliation toolchain and make sure all tasks are working. You may just have to run npm install and grunt if the tasks are already there.
