In his blog post, Paul Scanlon provides a comprehensive guide on integrating Gatsby with WordPress using the gatsby-source-wordpress plugin, structured as a "choose your own adventure" to accommodate different learning styles. He identifies gaps in the official documentation and offers a step-by-step approach to create a headless WordPress site with Gatsby, beginning with setting up a WordPress instance and installing the necessary plugins WPGraphQL and WPGatsby. The guide details configuring GraphQL, setting up a minimal Gatsby site, and using gatsby-node.js to create pages in Gatsby using WordPress data. Scanlon also explains how to add navigation to the Gatsby site by querying menu items from WordPress and wrapping page elements with a custom layout in gatsby-browser.js. The post emphasizes the importance of understanding the integration process to ensure a functional and navigable site, concluding with a link to a demo website and GitHub repo containing all the code discussed.
