Welcome to the GiveWP GitHub repository. This is the core repository and heart of an ecosystem of active development. Here you can browse the source, look at open issues, and contribute to the project.
Many of our add-ons are in public repositories, however, the majority are private. If you have a legitimate need for access, please reach out to us and we'll be happy to grant you access.
This repository is not suitable for WordPress admin or donor support. Please don't use GitHub issues for non-development related support requests. Don't get us wrong, we're more than happy to help you! However, to get the support you need please use the following channels:

If you're looking to contribute or actively develop on GiveWP, welcome! We're glad you're here. Please ⭐️ this repository and fork it to begin local development.
Most of us are using Local by Flywheel to develop on WordPress, which makes set up quick and easy. If you prefer Docker, VVV, or another flavor of local development that's cool too!

Development Notes
- Ensure that you have
SCRIPT_DEBUGenabled within your wp-config.php file. Here's a good example of wp-config.php for debugging:// Enable WP_DEBUG mode define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); // Loads unminified core files define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true ); - Commit the
package.lockfile. Read more about why here. - Your editor should recognize the
.eslintrcand.editorconfigfiles within the Repo's root directory. Please only submit PRs following those coding style rulesets. - Read CONTRIBUTING.md - it contains more about contributing to GiveWP.
