I’m currently working on my website and I’m theming my new WordPress blog – Obviously I have a local installation of WordPress and a remote installation. I want to be able to ignore the main folders and only allow the themes folder. The structure is as follows.

  • Blog
    • wp-content
    • wp-includes
      • themes
      • modules
    • […]

  1. How about this:

    # Ignore everything in the top-most directory
/*

# Except the wp-includes directory
!wp-includes/

# Exclude everything in the wp-includes directory
wp-includes/*

# Except the folders themes and modules
!wp-includes/themes/
!wp-includes/modules/
