    author: {
      name: 'Cesar Artezan'
    }
  },
  plugins: [
    resolve: 'gatsby-theme-wordpress-mdx',
    options:
     {
    // Requiered
    sourceWordpress: {
      sourcePost: true, // if true install gatsby-source-wordpress
      sourcePage: true, // if true install gatsby-source-wordpress
    },
    // Requiered
    sourceMdxPosts: true, // if true create `src/posts`
    logo: `src/images/logo.svg` // This path is relative to the root of the site.
     }
  ]

3.- Folder Structure 📁

  • src/index.mdx is required, in this file you can generate the landing page
  • src/page is required, it is without “s” because mdx plugin
  • src/sections is required but it could be empty, this folder is for the sections imported in index.mdx
Root
│   README.md
│   gatsby-config.js
└───src
│   └───gatsby-plugin-theme-ui
│   │   │ index.js
│   └───posts
│   │   │ mdx files
│   └───page
│   │   │ mdx files
│   └───sections
│   │   │ mdx files
│   └───images
│   │   │ png jpg svg files
│   │   │ logo.svg
│   │ index.mdx
│
└───static
    │   file021.png
    │   favicon.ico

And that’s it, now you can start code in index.mdx your landing page and the others page in src/page 👨‍💻
