Gutenberg ready.

A Demo is available here.

Features

Setup

Create new project with

composer create-project dotsunited/wordpress-boilerplate my-project

Docker

Adjust the docker-compose.yml to your needs using a docker-compose.override.yml file (https://docs.docker.com/compose/extends/).

Multisite subfolders can be be configured by setting the WORDPRESS_MULTISITE_PATHS environment variable to e.g. 2=blog2,3=blog3, resulting in the following urls:

If nothing is set, the id of the corresponding blog will be used as a path, resulting in the following urls:

You can add a database dump with the filename dump.sql.gz or dump.sql which will be imported on the first run. A new user with the following credentials will be automatically added:

Username: `localAdmin`
Password: ´localPassword´

⚠️ Remember to remove or change the credentials in a production environment!

Start the docker containers with

docker composer up -d

Plugins

If you uncommented sentry lines in docker-compose.yml install WP Sentry

Be careful when using plugins which depend on jQuery.

Gravity Forms for example will enqueue jquery once a form is embedded into a post or page.

In this case, you might include the form via an iFrame. You can use the gravity-forms-iframe plugin for easier integration.

Webfonts

It is recommended to use local webfonts and not from external CDN's like Google Fonts.

You can use google-webfonts-helper to download webfonts from Google Fonts.
