- In the My WPEngine, go to Backup Points, select the most recent backup, and click “Download Zip”. You could download a full backup (and skip the steps below for sourcing media from production), but for large sites I like doing a partial backup excluding media. Select “Partial Backup” and check everything but “Media Uploads”. Set the email address to your own and you’ll be emailed a zip file.
- Copy over the appropriate files to your local WP install (themes, plugins). Do not include the mu-plugins directory; that contains WPEngine specific code.
- Import the database locally, using phpMyAdmin, direct SQL query or Migrate DB Pro (pulling from production).
- Update the URLs in the local database NOTE: Ignore this when using Migrate DB Pro. Using wp cli:
wp search-replace $(wp option get siteurl) http://wp.dev/mywebsite, where the last URL is your local site’s URL. If you don’t have wp cli, try Search Replace DB. - Delete the theme
wp-content/themes/[theme_name]and the pluginwp-content/plugins/core-functionality. - At the top level of the WordPress directory in terminal and run the following commands. This will pull down the version controlled theme and plugin.
git init
git remote add origin [email protected]:abstractwp/[repo_name].git
git pull origin pro
git fetch --all
git checkout dev
Flywheel Local includes a variety of tools pre-installed:
- WP-CLI
- Composer
- npm
- Gulp
- Grunt
To access, in the Local by Flywheel interface right click the install name and click open site SSH
