Revision as of 12:54, 8 September 2020
, 12:54, 8 September 2020→A New Version of Wordpress
Outside of the defaults, [https://wordpress.org/themes/oceanwp/ OceanWP] is eCommerce oriented but looks good and is very popular. [https://wordpress.org/themes/neve/ Neve] sits between OceanWP and [https://wordpress.org/themes/generatepress/ GeneratePress], which has a more magazine/news focus, and all three take advantage of the new block editor ([https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ Gutenberg]), which was introduced in WPv5 (initial release in 2018).
===Pre-install===
Check PHP and MySQL. I need PHP >=7.3 and MySQL >=5.6 but:
php --version
PHP 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.6 (cli) (built: May 26 2020 13:09:11) ( NTS )
mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.31, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
I might be able to upgrade my version of PhP without upgrading Ubuntu (see https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-php-on-ubuntu-18-04/). However, it is probably a good idea to just fix everything...
===Install===
First, move the old folder to a new name, so that it is there for backup and then get the new install and unpack it.
cd /bulk/installs
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
mv /var/www/html/blog /var/www/html/blog20200809
tar -xzf latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
cd /var/www/html/
mv wordpress/ blog/
chown -R www-data:www-data blog
