The theme directory "twentytwentyfour" does not exist.

[flexseth]

Error when booting in wp-content mode without a theme in the folder.

The theme directory "twentytwentyfour" does not exist. Error: The themes directory is either empty or does not exist. Please check your installation.

Why is this a problem

A theme is necessary to run any WordPress website. Let's make sure one is available.

Suggested fix

If no theme is in the wp-content/themes folder, install Twenty Twenty-Four

Step to install Twenty Twenty-Four (doesn't work but seems like it should)

{
    "step": "installTheme",
            "themeZipFile": {
                "resource": "wordpress.org/themes",
                "slug": "twentytwentyfour"
            },
            "options": {
                "activate": true
            }   
}

Error code on attempted theme install - partially redacted

Affects

• VS Code Extension booted in wp-content mode
• wp-now when booted in wp-content mode

How to re-create the issue

• Clone the https://github.com/adamziel/playground-docs-workflow repo
• Click "Start Server" in VS Code or run wp-now
• npx @wp-now/wp-now start --wp=6.5.2 --php=8.0 --blueprint=blueprint.json

Looks like it may be a URL or "resource type" issue

[sejas]

The repository https://github.com/adamziel/playground-docs-workflow doesn't load the frontpage, but it does load the /wp-admin.

landingPage

Error loading the home:

The theme directory "twentytwentyfour" does not exist.
Error: The themes directory is either empty or does not exist. Please check your installation.

So my fix would be to wp-now auto open the blueprint.json landingPage

Theme

For installing the theme step, it can be fixed by adding a themes empty folder to https://github.com/adamziel/playground-docs-workflow/tree/trunk/wp-content

The repository https://github.com/adamziel/playground-docs-workflow doesn't load the frontpage, but it does load the /wp-admin.

Finally putting together what you meant!

Docs workflow is a WIP - closing

[adamziel]

Reopening, I’d still like to investigate possible solutions.

On Ubuntu 22.04 desktop. I am getting this error by simply doing this command inside my plugin directory

npx @wp-now/wp-now start --reset

Same without reset. Is this not how

Without any blueprint. Is this now how It's supposed to work out of the box? "From a plugin or theme dir".

I tried deleting .wp-now

tree ~/.wp-now -L 3
