Publisher Theme For Gatsby and WordPress

Gatsby -

gatsby-theme-publisher

This is a theme for a headless WordPress site using Gatsby as a static front end. It has all the stuff I wanted for my personal site, so I wanted to put it all in one theme.

I borrowed heavily from other themes, props to Jeff at Northstack, Zac Gordon, and the Tailwind Starter Theme.

Note: This is still very experimental, don't use on a production site unless you're willing to deal with some bugs!

Features:

  • Fetch WordPress content via GraphQL
  • Comments
  • MailChimp Opt-in form
  • Design with Tailwind CSS
  • SEO tags
  • Sitemap
  • Google analytics
  • Static Featured Images via Gatsby Image

You can use my WP Netlify Deploy plugin to automatically rebuild on Netlify when you create or update a post.

Requirements

  • A WordPress site with the WPGraphQL plugin installed and active
  • A free Netlify account to host your Gatsby site
  • A github repository for the Gatsby files
