README

Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure.

Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the Twelve-Factor App methodology including the WordPress specific version.

Features

• Better folder structure
• Dependency management with Composer
• Easy WordPress configuration with environment specific files
• Environment variables with Dotenv
• Autoloader for mu-plugins (use regular plugins as mu-plugins)
• Enhanced security (separated web root and secure passwords with wp-password-bcrypt)

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.1
• Composer - Install

Installation

1. Create a new project:

    $ composer create-project roots/bedrock
   

2. Update environment variables in the .env file. Wrap values that may contain non-alphanumeric characters with quotes, or they may be incorrectly parsed.
   • Database variables
   • DB_NAME - Database name
   • DB_USER - Database user
   • DB_PASSWORD - Database password
   • DB_HOST - Database host
   • Optionally, you can define DATABASE_URL for using a DSN instead of using the variables above (e.g. mysql://user:password@127.0.0.1:3306/db_name)
   • WP_ENV - Set to environment (development, staging, production)
   • WP_HOME - Full URL to WordPress home (https://example.com)
   • WP_SITEURL - Full URL to WordPress including subdirectory (https://example.com/wp)
   • AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY, AUTH_SALT, SECURE_AUTH_SALT, LOGGED_IN_SALT, NONCE_SALT
   • Generate with wp-cli-dotenv-command
   • Generate with our WordPress salts generator
3. Add theme(s) in web/app/themes/ as you would for a normal WordPress site
4. Set the document root on your webserver to Bedrock's web folder: /path/to/site/web/
5. Access WordPress admin at https://example.com/wp/wp-admin/
