Comments on: How to develop a theme offline http://prothemedesign.com/how-to/how-to-develop-a-theme-offline/ Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:35:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: rich http://prothemedesign.com/how-to/how-to-develop-a-theme-offline/#comment-162 rich Wed, 21 May 2008 21:48:56 +0000 http://prothemedesign.com/how-to/how-to-develop-a-theme-offline/#comment-162 I can not for the life of me find: #AddModule mod_rewrite.c I searched with ctrl+f as well as looked for it manually. I did however find: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so ...which I uncommented. So, I tried to just add that line of code to the file, at which point I was given the following message: Syntax error: Invalid command 'AddModule,' perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Any Ideas? I can not for the life of me find:
#AddModule mod_rewrite.c

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
…which I uncommented.

So, I tried to just add that line of code to the file, at which point I was given the following message:

Syntax error:
Invalid command ‘AddModule,’ perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Any Ideas?

Only edit themes and plugins. It makes things a lot easier when it's time to update - and updating plugins and themes is easy. Just grab the plugin and theme folders and ftp them :) Martcol - I wouldn’t go around modifying wordpress core files. Only edit themes and plugins.

Once you get going with a WP site/theme how do you then update what's on your host with what's on your home PC? Is that easy? I guess you just have to upload the tweaked files as you go but WP has so many it's difficult to know which is which. Thanks, that is a clear explanation.

I had been working on my blog 'live' because I thought that setting up the server (etc) was going to be a messy ordeal. This looks simple enough - I've downloaded the recommended files and will get this together later this week (I have other deadlines making whooshing noises as they go by right now). My blog is stick ugly, but doing a redesign / serious modification has had to take a back-burner to content. Now I can work on it a bit at a time and not have to worry about shanking the live site.

I will most likely use a premium theme as the basis for the site, and was planning on doing any "customization" via the WP interface. Now to the hard work of selecting the theme - and filling it with content! Thanks Darren & Ben… this helps quite a bit.

I would suggest always developing css with the images linked relatively, and then everything should "just work" Assuming you use Wordpress built in commands for creating links just hitting the “update permalinks” button in the Wordpress options will fix everything.

If you hard-code any other links in your templates, just make sure the references are absolute and always start at the root, in case the files need to be moved later on.

Once the site is "ready" to upload to my "real" server and go live, is there a simple way to update all of the directory specific references (i.e. permalinks, etc). My understanding is that WP is very directory focused, and all page/link/content references are going to follow the directory structure. I like the idea of offline development; but hate the idea of diving into code to change pointers, etc. Recommendations? THANKS I am a bit of a novice, and have a clarifying question…
