Redesign of the NOODL licensing website — audience-specific pages, a CC-style layered license explainer, embedded dataset cards, and an impact blog. Built in HTML/CSS and React, migrating to WordPress. # Licensing African Datasets (WordPress) This repository contains a WordPress site that serves the **“Licensing African Datasets”** front-end via a custom theme. The WordPress core lives at the repository root, while the application UI is packaged as a bundled front-end under: - `wp-content/themes/DS-LAW-LAB-LICENSE/` --- ## 1) Repository layout (high level) ### WordPress core (root) Key WordPress entry points: - `index.php` – front controller - `wp-config.php` – database + environment configuration - `wp-admin/` – admin UI - `wp-includes/` – WP core libraries ### Custom theme (application) The custom theme is located at: - `wp-content/themes/DS-LAW-LAB-LICENSE/` Important theme files: - `functions.php` – enqueues theme CSS/JS - `index.php` – WordPress template that outputs the app mount point - `index.html` – built HTML entry (includes `#root` and references hashed build artifacts) - `style.css` – theme header (currently minimal) - `assets/` – compiled front-end build artifacts (JS/CSS, images, etc.) --- ## 2) How the front-end is served ### Theme mount point `wp-content/themes/DS-LAW-LAB-LICENSE/index.php` contains the mount element: - ` ` It also calls: - `wp_head()` and `wp_footer()` for WordPress integration. ### Asset loading In `wp-content/themes/DS-LAW-LAB-LICENSE/functions.php`, the theme registers/enqueues assets using WordPress hooks: - Adds a custom CSS enqueue pointing to `assets/index.css` - Adds a custom JS enqueue pointing to `assets/index.js` Additionally, `wp-content/themes/DS-LAW-LAB-LICENSE/index.html` references the hashed build artifacts directly, for example: - `assets/index-B6tpW-rd.js` - `assets/index-DGPLTSPD.css` > Note: The repo currently contains both a PHP-driven enqueue approach and an HTML approach that references hashed artifacts. If you change build output filenames, make sure the references in `index.html` and the enqueues in `functions.php` match the emitted files. --- ## 3) Local setup / deployment # …
