Setting up a WordPress project on Cloud 9

Home > Week 6

To create a new WordPress based workspace on Cloud 9, start by logging into c9.io. If you do not have an account, and you don’t have an invite from me already, email or Slack message me the email address you want to use and I will send a new invite.

Once you have loaded the Dashboard, click Create a new workspace. Name the workspace, click the WordPress button under Choose a template and make sure to set the team to Don't set a team for this workspace so you will be the owner of the workspace.

When you click Create workspace it will launch the Cloud 9 IDE. This is where you can edit files and preview your work. Once you are here, click the Share button to add me as a user.

Invite me using my owenbmcc Cloud 9 username, or my email. This will allow me to view your code, launch your project and make edits or suggestions.

The left hand file browser has the default WordPress install files. You can add your theme here by navigating to portfolio > wp-content > themes.

After uploading your theme you can open files to edit in the main window. When you are ready to view the project, click the Run Project button at the top of the page.

This will launch the WordPress site at a url specified in the console. You can click on this URL to view your work and also visit the Dashboard by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of the URL.
