Local execution and custom templates / plugins #5

Closed gmmcal closed 7 years ago

I've been trying to setup an already running wordpress project to run with this configuration, but I'm having 2 issues that occur prior to deploy

How can I run the project locally
How can I test locally with my custom plugins and themes that are not on some public repository?

My current setup is a Vagrant VM provisioned with PuPHPet.

I've found a way to start a local server with wp server command from wp-cli. But custom themes are not loading properly, probably because they are located on web/app and the server starts on web/wp... any tips on that?

One method is indeed wp cli, but i will also add a Dockerfile in the next few days.

I just noticed that the path in wp-cli.yml i set to web/wp - while it should point to web.

You can start the local server with wp server --docroot=web for now to override it. Thanks for reporting this mistake - this should also fix your theme problem since the files in app are loaded by web/wp-config.php. I will change this sometime later today.

Nice @PhilippHeuer. I've just done a quick test changing the wp-cli.yml and looks like it fixed the custom template... I'll do more testings using custom plugins on the next few days and get back here if I find something wrong again.

PS: I haven't deployed the changes I've done to production yet... I hope it works without problems 😄
