Setup

  1. Ask Karl for clean install of WP on correct server (will need to provide a directory name)

  1. Also clone the theme into wp-content/themes
  git clone https://github.com/NEU-Libraries/drs-toolkit-wp-theme.git quest-child
  1. Register your site on google analytics and add your code to a git-ignored file called analytics.php
  cd /wp-content/themes/quest-child
  vi analytics.php

Example file contents:

  <?php
    echo "<script>[YOUR GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE]
    function add_google_tracking(){
      jQuery('.button').on('click', function() {
        ga('send', 'event', jQuery(this).data('label'), 'click', jQuery(this).data('pid'));
        console.log('send', 'event', jQuery(this).data('label'), 'click', jQuery(this).data('pid'));
      });
    }
    </script>
    ";
  1. If the project is going to need to override styles, add a overrides.css file (which is gitignored so changes won't be overwritten)
  cd /wp-content/themes/quest-child
  touch overrides.css

  cd wp-content/themes
  rm -rf twentyfifteen
