Help with migrating your WordPress site to GatsbyJS with Oskar Tech Support

Migrating a WordPress website to GatsbyJS can be a daunting task, but with the right knowledge and tools, it can be a smooth and successful process. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of migrating your WordPress site to GatsbyJS using Oskar tech support.

Step 1: Set up your GatsbyJS project
Before you can start migrating your WordPress site to GatsbyJS, you need to set up a Gatsby project. If you don’t already have Gatsby installed on your computer, you can do so by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install -g gatsby-cli

Once Gatsby is installed, you can create a new project by running the following command:

gatsby new my-gatsby-project

Replace "my-gatsby-project" with the name of your project. This will create a new Gatsby project in a directory with that name.

Step 2: Install the necessary plugins
Next, you will need to install the necessary plugins to connect your WordPress site to your Gatsby project. Oskar tech support recommends using the "gatsby-source-wordpress" plugin, which allows you to pull content from your WordPress site into your Gatsby project.

To install the plugin, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install gatsby-source-wordpress

Once the plugin is installed, you will need to configure it in your Gatsby project. Open your gatsby-config.js file and add the following code:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: 'gatsby-source-wordpress',
      options: {
        baseUrl: 'https://your-wordpress-site.com',
        protocol: 'https',
        hostingWPCOM: false,
        useACF: false,
        auth: {}
      }
    }
  ]
}

Replace "https://your-wordpress-site.com" with the URL of your WordPress site. This will tell Gatsby where to pull content from your WordPress site.

Step 3: Pull content from your WordPress site
Once you have installed and configured the "gatsby-source-wordpress" plugin, you can pull content from your WordPress site into your Gatsby project. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

gatsby develop

This will start a development server for your Gatsby project. You can then visit http://localhost:8000/ in your browser to see your WordPress content rendered in your Gatsby project.

Step 4: Customize your Gatsby site
With your WordPress content now in your Gatsby project, you can start customizing your site using Gatsby’s built-in features and plugins. Oskar tech support recommends exploring Gatsby’s documentation and community for ideas on how to customize your Gatsby site.

Step 5: Deploy your Gatsby site
Once you are happy with how your Gatsby site looks and functions, you can deploy it to a hosting provider of your choice. Oskar tech support recommends using Netlify for hosting Gatsby sites, as it offers seamless integration with Gatsby and makes deployment simple and fast.

To deploy your Gatsby site to Netlify, you will need to connect your Git repository to Netlify and set up continuous deployment. Netlify will automatically build and deploy your Gatsby site whenever you push changes to your Git repository.

And that’s it! You have successfully migrated your WordPress site to GatsbyJS using Oskar tech support. We hope this tutorial has been helpful and that you enjoy the benefits of using Gatsby for your website.
