Installation - iGovPhil/gwt-wordpress GitHub Wiki

What you need:

  1. The latest WordPress from https://wordpress.org/download/ (Currently v5.9.1)
  • Works on WP v6.1
  1. The latest GWT for WordPress from https://github.com/iGovPhil/gwt-wordpress/releases (Currently v25.3.3)
  • The gwt-wordpress version 26.0.0 is STILL NOT considered as official so hold off on using it for now.

Issues:

  1. Slider Image does not show when "A Static Page" is selected on Homepage Display Settings. see #37

Notes:

  1. Please use PHP 7.3+ version to avoid errors #44 -- Works on PHP 7.4.32
  2. If you have installation trouble, check if you have enough maximum Script Execute Time, Memory Amount, Post Size, Upload Size in your PHP configuration.

What to do:

  1. Install WordPress (wp)
