Installation

Installing the Freelancer theme can be done in one of two ways. Our GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method enables you to quickly and easily install the theme with a simple terminal command, while the manual method enables you to do so via a zip file.

GPM Installation (Preferred)

Unsupported now.

Manual Installation

To install this theme, just download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/themes. Then, rename the folder to freelancer. You can find these files either on GitHub.

You should now have all the theme files under

/your/site/grav/user/themes/freelancer

NOTE: This theme is a modular component for Grav which requires the Grav, Error and Problems plugins.

Setup

If you want to set Freelancer as the default theme, you can do so by following these steps:

  • Navigate to /your/site/grav/user/config.
  • Open the system.yaml file.
  • Change the theme: setting to theme: freelancer.
  • Save your changes.
  • Clear the Grav cache. The simplest way to do this is by going to the root Grav directory in Terminal and typing bin/grav clear-cache.

Once this is done, you should be able to see the new theme on the frontend. Keep in mind any customizations made to the previous theme will not be reflected as all of the theme and templating information is now being pulled from the freelancer folder.

Updating

As development for the Freelancer theme continues, new versions may become available that add additional features and functionality, improve compatibility with newer Grav releases, and generally provide a better user experience. Updating Freelancer is easy, and can be done through Grav's GPM system, as well as manually.

GPM Update (Preferred)

Unsupported now.

Manual Update

Manually updating Freelancer is pretty simple. Here is what you will need to do to get this done:

  • Delete the your/site/user/themes/freelancer directory.
  • Download the new version of the Freelancer theme from either GitHub.
  • Unzip the zip file in your/site/user/themes and rename the resulting folder to freelancer.
  • Clear the Grav cache. The simplest way to do this is by going to the root Grav directory in terminal and typing bin/grav clear-cache.

Note: Any changes you have made to any of the files listed under this directory will also be removed and replaced by the new set. Any files located elsewhere (for example a YAML settings file placed in user/config/themes) will remain intact.
