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.
- 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)
- PHP >= 7.1
- Composer - Install
- Create a new project:
$ composer create-project roots/bedrock
- Update environment variables in the
.env
file:
- Database variables
DB_NAME
- Database nameDB_USER
- Database userDB_PASSWORD
- Database passwordDB_HOST
- Database host- Optionally, you can define
DATABASE_URL
for using a DSN instead of using the variables above (e.g.mysql://user:[email protected]:3306/db_name
)
