Getting started

5 minute guide to setup development environment.

Download theme

You can download the theme from GitHub. Download it as zip and extract into /wp-content/themes/. Rename with your site.

Theme setup is done only once in project’s lifetime. Do it before modifying any files.

Open the terminal and go to theme’s directory (like cd wp-content/themes/sitename)
Do the setup wizard by running this command: sh bin/setup.sh
If you want to use Finnish localization, run also: sh bin/localizator.sh

Every developer does this before first time working with the project.

Open terminal and navigate to /wp-content/themes/sitename
Run yarn install (fetches all node packages for build tools) (no yarn? install yarn here)
If you haven’t used Gulp before, you need to also run npm install –global gulp-cli

As for plugins, you should install Aucor Core.

Open terminal and navigate to /wp-content/themes/sitename
Run gulp watch to activate build process in background. You’ll get development proxy at http://localhost:3000 where changes to code will be updated automatically to browser (no need to reload).
To quit press ctrl + c
If you make a syntax error in JS, do manifest.json changes or Gulp faces some issues, you may need to quit Gulp and run gulp watch again.

Protip: Build all the resources with running gulp without watching.
