Migration

This site was migrated from WordPress hosted on Bytemark to static files hosted on GitHub Pages.

WordPress repository

The old WordPress repository was archived: cc-archive/wp-theme-openglam.

Migration process

Process to migrate from WordPress to static files:

  1. Used curl to pull down the four visible pages as .html files
  2. Used curl to pull down missing dependencie (js, css) into relevant directory structure
  3. Used curl to pull down missing uploads into wp-content/uploads/
  4. Moved everything into docs/
  5. Added docs/.nojekyll (empty file)
  6. Discovered the site had a lot of "orphan pages" not present within the site's current nav from prior site incarnations, but still publicly accessible.
  7. Setup a temporary node environment virtual space.
  8. Used wordpress-to-eleventy, to generate static .html pages, amending the default post and page templates' header and footer to pull down all the pages and posts via the site's API as new .html files into appropriate subdirectories.
  9. Deleted temporary node environment.
  10. Used scp to pull down everything from the wp-content/uploads folder to account for all the orphan posts/pages now added. scp -r [name-of-ssh-alias]:path/to/wp-content/uploads path/to/local/uploads
