A GatsbyJS starter template that leverages the WordPress API, ACF and more

Gatsby v2 WordPress Starter

This starter is forked from the gatsby-starter-netlify-cms and modified to use WordPress instead of netlify-cms.

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
• Rejoice
  • 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 GatsbyCentral#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%.
