Data.gov

Data.gov is an open data catalog created by the U.S. General Services Administration based on two robust open source projects: CKAN and WordPress. The data catalog at catalog.data.gov is powered by CKAN, while the content seen at Data.gov is powered by WordPress.

This repository provides the Issue Tracker for all code, bugs, and feature requests related to these websites. Currently the repository is only used for source version control on the code for the WordPress template, but you will also find pointers to the relevant CKAN code and tools documented below.

CKAN

WordPress

  • WordPress. The Data.gov team recommends the latest version of WordPress.
  • Data.gov WordPress template. The code powering the Data.gov WordPress template.
    • GSA/data.gov or this repository. The source version control of the Data.gov WordPress template. The theme is provided in the /themes/ folder. The theme is based on roots.io.
  • Plugins. See the routinely updated plugins page for a list of all the plugins used on Data.gov.
  • Custom. Custom code for the Data.gov WordPress site.
  • Deployment. Download the latest version of WordPress. This is a standard WordPress install, so please refer to the WordPress Docs. In the near future we hope to release the configuration for installing the Data.gov WordPress using WordPress CLI.
