Troubleshooting

Sometimes, when you run dev the task, you will only see a white screen in your browser preview. In most cases, this is easily resolved when you install PHP in your system. But sometimes it is not working, and you need to customize the browserSync task manually. To customize it, follow these steps:

1. Open gulpfile.babel.js file in your code/text editor
2. Find this code part:

$.connectPhp.server(gulpConfig.php, () => {
    browserSync(gulpConfig.browserSync);
});

3. And change it to this one:

browserSync.init({
    server: {
        baseDir: gulpConfig.php.base,
        open: true,
        notify: false,
    },
});
