gatsby-theme-wordpress-blog v1.0.0-4

Gatsby Theme WordPress Blog

A core, data-only theme for adding a blog to your site, with content from WordPress.

Get started

Install the theme and add it to your Gatsby site's gatsby-config.js.

npm i gatsby-theme-wordpress-blog

// gatsby-config.js
require("dotenv").config({
  path: `.env.${process.env.NODE_ENV}`,
})

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    "gatsby-theme-wordpress-blog",
    // ...
  ],
}

Add .env.development and .env.production files with the following environment variable defined:

// .env example
WPGRAPHQL_URL=""

Add templates

This theme requires that your site include two templates in its src directory. By default it expects these templates to exist:

• src/templates/blog-index.js
• src/templates/blog-post.js

Add these two templates to your site.

// src/templates/blog-index.js
import * as React from "react"
import { Link } from "gatsby"

export default function BlogIndex({ posts }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Blog</h1>
      <ul>
        {posts.map((post) => (
          <li key={post.id}>
            <Link to={`/blog/${post.slug}`}>{post.title}</Link>
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  )
}

// src/templates/blog-post.js
import * as React from "react"

export default function BlogPost(props) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{props.title}</h1>
      <div
        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
          __html: props.html,
        }}
      />
    </div>
  )
}

Options

// example gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "gatsby-theme-wordpress-blog",
      options: {
        postPath: "src/templates/blog-post",
        indexPath: "src/templates/blog-index",
      },
    },
  ],
}
