We are making the new blender.org skin. Join the discussion on the dedicated mailing list.

Installation

1. Get a copy of Wordpress
2. Extract the archive in your Apache Root
3. Delete the wp-content folder
4. Check out this repository as wp_content as a replacement for the just delete folder
5. Manually sync the plugins and upload folders from Dropbox
6. Create a new MySQL Database
7. Import the database content that you find on Dropbox
8. Manually configure your wp-config.php file to point at this database

Links

• Database dump
• Uploads folder

Other info

• WP username and password are (admin, password)
• if you can add to your /etc/hosts file the following line:

local.blender.org	120.0.0.1

so that you can visit local.blender.org on your browser and see the website. Alternatively you can add to your wp-config.php the following lines to see it vising localhost/blender:

define('WP_HOME','http://localhost/blender');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://localhost/blender');

Apache settings

Depending on the system you are working on, you might want to check these settings too:

1. enable short_code (in php.ini) - this allows code to run with "<?" as well as <?php". The template and plugins use both formats.
2. enable "rewrite_module" or "mod_rewrite" - this allow the links to work since the permalink format is different than the default.
