as the URL cd
into your local plugins directory:/path/to/wp-content/plugins/
- Fork this repository from GitHub and then clone that into your plugins directory in a new
give
directory - Run
composer install
to set up dependencies - Run
npm install
to get the necessary npm packages - Activate the plugin in WordPress

Development Notes
- Ensure that you have

enabled within your wp-config.php file. Here's a good example of wp-config.php for debugging:// Enable WP_DEBUG mode define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); // Loads unminified core files define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
- Commit the
package.lock
file. Read more about why here. - Your editor should recognize the
.eslintrc
and.editorconfig
files within the Repo's root directory. Please only submit PRs following those coding style rulesets. - Read CONTRIBUTING.md - it contains more about contributing to GiveWP.
