How to deploy an Ability site locally ?

[openflips]

Hi,

I wish to keep a working local copy of an site based on Ability, already online.

I’m struggling to get it working locally when I’m offline. I guess some scripts are loaded from the Internet.

I tried to load the local jquery included in WordPress, it helps to get the menu and the showcase working but still doesn’t help with the Portfolio categories filter.

Could you please suggest me an solution to that ?

Many thanks,
flips

Hi

You should be able to duplicate the site locally, however you will need to make sure you change all the links, and copy the database to your machine

Hi Kyle,

I know how to duplicate a site locally, however with the Ability theme, it doesn’t work.

Here is how I managed to make it working :

1. Download http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js to the ability js folder
2. Load it in functions.php :

wp_register_script(‘jquery’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/jquery.min.js’);

3. Remove this line to prevent loading the remote file :

wp_register_script(‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js’);

Hope this helps to improve the theme.

Thanks,
flips
