ZenifyWP

ZenifyWP is a professional WordPress theme development environment and template. It provides a robust, pre-configured setup to streamline the creation and testing of high-quality WordPress themes, supporting both the modern wp-env (Docker-based) and traditional Vagrant workflows.

Features

• Modern Workflow: Zero-config development using the official WordPress wp-env tool.
• Vagrant Support: Pre-configured Debian-based VM for full-system isolation.
• Theme & Child Theme Support: Includes both a parent theme (zenifywp) and a child theme (zenifywp-child).
• Development Tools: Integrated Makefile for managing environments, builds, and site health.
• Code Standards: Pre-configured for theme validation and debugging.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your host machine:

• Node.js & NPM: Required for wp-env.
• Docker: Required for wp-env.
• Vagrant & VirtualBox (Optional): Only if you prefer the VM workflow.
• Git: 2.7 or higher.

Getting Started (Recommended: wp-env)

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/mirageglobe/zenifywp.git
   cd zenifywp

2. Start the Environment

   make wp-up

   Note: This will download the WordPress Docker images and start the site.

3. Access the Site

   • Site URL: http://localhost:8888
   • Admin Dashboard: http://localhost:8888/wp-admin (User: admin, Password: password)

Development Workflow

Use the provided Makefile to manage your environment:

wp-env (Docker)

• make wp-up: Start the development environment.
• make wp-stop: Stop the environment.
• make wp-shell: Access the environment's shell.
• make wp-check: Run theme check inside the environment.
• make wp-test: Verify environment health and connectivity.
• make wp-clean: Reset the environment (destroys data).

Theme Development

The source code for the themes is located in the src directory:

• src/zenifywp: The main parent theme.
• src/zenifywp-child: A starter child theme for customizations.

Guidelines

Before submitting a Pull Request, please ensure the following:

• Standards: Run make wp-check or use the Theme Check plugin included in wp-env.
• Verification: Run make wp-test to ensure the environment is healthy.

Roadmap

• Add option switch for footer navigation (Top, Home, Prev/Next).
• Transitioned from Vagrant to modern wp-env workflow.
• Integrated wp-env for zero-config development.
• Automated WordPress installation and synchronization.
• Standardized Makefile and infrastructure files.
• Cleaned up legacy VM artifacts.
