# Contributing Thank you for thinking about contributing to Orbit Fox! All sorts of contributions are welcomed. ## License Orbit Fox is [licensed under the GPLv2+](LICENSE.txt), and all contributions to Orbit Fox will be released under the GPLv2+ license. By contributing to this repository, you agree to release your contribution under the GPLv2+ license. ## Setting Up Local Environment You need a WordPress Environment to run the plugin on. This project needs a lot of different packages to be installed before you can start coding, but we've made the process easier with Docker. ### Getting Started with Docker The quickest way to get up and running is to use the provided [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) setup which takes care of setting up the environment for you within seconds. Install docker and docker-compose by following the most recent instructions on the Docker site. Once Docker is installed, fork Orbit Fox repository. Clone your fork of this project and enter the working directory: ``` git clone http://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/themeisle-companion/ cd themeisle-companion ``` Once inside the folder, you can run the following command to start your Docker container: ``` docker-compose up -d ``` This will make your WordPress instance up and running at http://localhost:8888 - If you want to use a different port for your environment, then you can change it from [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml) file. - If you're developing themes, or core WordPress functionality alongside Orbit Fox, you can make the WordPress files accessible in `/themeisle-companion/wordpress/` folder in your home directory. - If you want bash access to your environment, you can use the following command to find the ID of your Docker container: ``` docker ps ``` And then you can get bash access with the following command: ``` docker exec -it bash ``` If you want to stop your Docker container, for the time being, you can use the following command: ``` docker-compose stop ``` Moreover, if you want to delete your Docker instance, you can use: ``` docker-compose down ``` ### Installing Dependencies Once you've bash access of your WordPress container, you need to enter your Orbit Fox directory with: ``` cd /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/themeisle-companion/ ``` Now, we need to install `npm` and `composer` dependencies with the following commands: ``` npm install composer install ``` Now you can start making your changes to the plugin. ### Running Grunt Tasks We use [Grunt](https://gruntjs.com/) for automating many tasks, such as compiling Sass to CSS, PHP Code Sniffer, and more. Once you have made your changes, you can run Grunt tasks by running: ``` grunt local ``` It will take some time to finish all the tasks. If there are any issues found in PHP or JavaScript, it gives you a detailed log inside `/logs/` folder of the plugin. Fix those issues and run `grunt local` again until it finishes without an error. ### PHP Unit Testing Tests for PHP use PHPUnit as the testing framework, which is run with: ``` phpunit ``` ## Sending a Pull Request A good workflow for pull requests to follow is listed below: - Fork Orbit Fox repository - Clone forked repository - Use **development** branch for your changes, or create a new branch from **development** branch. - Setup environment - Make code changes - Run Grunt tasks and PHPUnit tests. - Push branch to forked repository - Submit Pull Request ## Reporting Security Issues ThemeIsle team takes security bugs very seriously. Do not report potential security vulnerabilities here. Email them privately to our team at friends@themeisle.com ## Reporting a Bug We use [GitHub issues](https://github.com/Codeinwp/themeisle-companion/issues) for tracking bugs. When filing an issue, make sure to answer these questions: - What version of Orbit Fox are you using? - What version of WordPress are you using are you using? - What did you do? - What did you expect to see? - What did you see instead? Explain the problem and include additional details to help maintainers reproduce the problem: - Use a clear and descriptive title for the issue to identify the problem. - Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem in as many details as possible, including screenshots if needed. ## Localizing Orbit Fox Plugin You don't need to be a developer to contribute to Orbit Fox. You can also contribute to the project by translating it to your language. You can find your [locale here](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/themeisle-companion). Language packs are automatically generated once 95% of the plugin's strings are translated and approved for a locale.

The “Quiet Creator” Advantage – Why Loud Doesn’t Win Anymore

 If you’ve ever thought,

“I’m not loud or funny enough to grow on YouTube…”
you’re not alone.

Many creators over 35, 40, or 50 feel like they’re too calm, too boring, or too quiet to stand out online.

But here’s the good news:
✅ Being a quiet creator is no longer a disadvantage.
💡 It’s actually a superpower — if you use it the right way.

Why Loud Isn’t the Only Way Anymore

Let’s be honest.
The YouTube world is full of:

  •  Fast talkers

  •  Big personalities

  •  Crazy stunts and trends

But millions of viewers are tired of all the noise.
They want real help.
They want real talk.
They want calm clarity.

And that’s where YOU come in.

People 35+ Don’t Want the Hype — They Want Solutions

If your audience is made up of grown-ups — especially folks 35 and older — they’re not on YouTube looking for someone to scream at them.

They want someone who:

  • 🤝 Understands what they’re going through

  • 🧘‍♂️ Explains things in a calm, simple way

  • 📋 Gives clear steps they can take without overwhelm

They want help from someone who’s been through real life — not someone chasing clicks.

If that sounds like you, then you’re exactly what they’re looking for.

🧠 You Don’t Have to Perform. You Just Have to Be Clear.

Here’s the secret:

❌ You don’t need to be entertaining.
✅ You need to be useful.

❌ You don’t need to go viral.
✅ You need to be relevant to one real person with a real problem.

❌ You don’t need to impress.
✅ You need to connect.

That’s it.

And quiet creators — especially older, wiser ones — are amazing at connection when they just be themselves.

A Calm Channel Can Beat a Noisy One

Let’s say you’re a calm 50-year-old man who lost 40 pounds naturally after years of belly fat and low energy.

You quietly make helpful videos like:

  • 🔥 “How Men Over 45 Can Burn Belly Fat Without the Gym”

  • 🍽️ “My Simple Dinner Routine That Reversed My Fatigue”

  • ⚡ “Feeling Like a Zombie at 50? Try This Energy Reset Trick”

You’re not yelling.
You’re not trending.

But your videos speak to one person’s pain.
That’s what builds trust.
That’s what makes them listen.
That’s what leads to sales.

🚫 You’re Not Too Quiet. You’re Just Unfocused.

Being soft-spoken or reserved isn’t the issue.

The real issue is not knowing who you’re talking to and what you’re helping them fix.

Once you figure that out, your calm energy becomes an asset.
Because your voice cuts through the noise and feels like peace.

That’s powerful.

✅ Here’s Your Action Step Today:

📝 Make a list of 3 painful problems you’ve already solved in your life.

Then ask yourself:

  • 🤔 Who else is going through that right now?

  • 🙋 What do they wish someone would explain calmly?

  • 🗣️ How can I be that voice?

Now go plan your next video like you’re speaking directly to that one person — quietly, clearly, and confidently.

Because quiet creators can make deep impact and real income — when their message is focused.
