WordPress
The theme directory "twentytwentyfour" does not exist.
Error when booting in wp-content mode without a theme in the folder.
The theme directory "twentytwentyfour" does not exist. Error: The themes directory is either empty or does not exist. Please check your installation.
Why is this a problem
A theme is necessary to run any WordPress website. Let's make sure one is available.
Suggested fix
If no theme is in the wp-content/themes folder, install Twenty Twenty-Four
Step to install Twenty Twenty-Four (doesn't work but seems like it should)
{
"step": "installTheme",
"themeZipFile": {
"resource": "wordpress.org/themes",
"slug": "twentytwentyfour"
},
"options": {
"activate": true
}
}

Error code on attempted theme install - partially redacted

Affects
- VS Code Extension booted in
wp-contentmode wp-nowwhen booted inwp-contentmode
How to re-create the issue
- Clone the https://github.com/adamziel/playground-docs-workflow repo
- Click "Start Server" in VS Code or run
wp-now npx @wp-now/wp-now start --wp=6.5.2 --php=8.0 --blueprint=blueprint.json
The repository https://github.com/adamziel/playground-docs-workflow doesn't load the frontpage, but it does load the /wp-admin.
landingPage
Error loading the home:
The theme directory "twentytwentyfour" does not exist.
Error: The themes directory is either empty or does not exist. Please check your installation.
So my fix would be to wp-now auto open the blueprint.json landingPage

Theme
For installing the theme step, it can be fixed by adding a themes empty folder to https://github.com/adamziel/playground-docs-workflow/tree/trunk/wp-content
https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/assets/779993/e9b75726-7f83-4df6-b926-7849b4cf0f4d
The repository https://github.com/adamziel/playground-docs-workflow doesn't load the frontpage, but it does load the
/wp-admin.
Finally putting together what you meant!
Docs workflow is a WIP - closing
On Ubuntu 22.04 desktop. I am getting this error by simply doing this command inside my plugin directory
npx @wp-now/wp-now start --reset
Same without reset. Is this not how
Without any blueprint. Is this now how It's supposed to work out of the box? "From a plugin or theme dir".
I tried deleting .wp-now
tree ~/.wp-now -L 3
/home/user-name/.wp-now
