Gatsby Wordpress

This starter is forked from the gatsby-starter-netlify-cms and modified to use WordPress instead of netlify-cms, using the gatsby-source-wordpress plugin as the data connector.

Demo: https://gatsby-starter-wordpress.netlify.com/

Use It Now

gatsby new NAME https://github.com/GatsbyCentral/gatsby-starter-wordpress

• Edit gatsby-config.js, change baseUrl
  • Make sure you have at least 1 post and 1 page on your WordPress site
  • Make sure at least 1 post has at least 1 tag
• Ensure the permalink structure in your WordPress installation is set to Post Name instead of the deafult Plain, or else the gatsby-source-wordpress plugin won't be able to communicate with WordPress
• Rejoice
  • For more information on the source plugin, check out the gatsby-source-wordpress repository page
  • File any issues here

Known Limitations

• This is based on the netlify starter which uses bulma. This adds 150KB to every built page.
• Your WordPress site must have at least 1 post with 1 tag, or the starter will crash
• Nested pages / categories will not render with nested pages
  • A WordPress page like /about/team/ will render on Gatsby as /team/
  • Likewise for categories
  • Discussion here https://github.com/GatsbyCentral/gatsby-starter-wordpress/issues/24

CSS Processing

This plugin uses gatsby-plugin-purgecss and bulma. The bulma build would otherwise be ~170K which adds 170K to each of your built HTML pages. However, with purgecss this is reduced 90%.

WordPress Setup

Check the gatsby-source-wordpress plugin for more information. If you want to copy the demo content, you can grab the WordPress XML export here and import it into your WordPress site as a starting point.
