Wordpress Theme + Gulp Starter

Starter Wordpress theme with Gulp build process.

Watch JavaScript, SCSS, and PHP files in this theme for changes, transform/minify, and utilize Browsersync for live reloading.

Installation

Upload and activate this theme in wp-admin.

Development

Set up a local Wordpress environment or development server. I use Local for local development.

Start your Wordpress environment/server.

Update paths.development.proxy in gulpfile.js with your local environment URL.

cd into theme directory

  cd j0w0-wp-theme-gulp

Install dependencies

  npm install

Watch files (JS, SCSS, PHP) and reload on update

  npm run dev

Or just use gulp to transform/minify JS and SCSS once without live reloading

  gulp
