README

WordPress Project Template by JustCoded

WordPress Project Template is a skeleton WordPress site with modern development tools, easier configuration, improved folder structure and latest security best practices.

Better project structure

The organization of skeleton is similar to putting WordPress core files in its own subdirectory, wp-content stays the same.

Dependency management with Composer

Manage your WordPress install and plugins with Composer, a PHP dependency manager. Composer will make development more reliable, help with team collaboration, and it helps maintain a better Git repository.

Easy WordPress configuration

Environment specific configuration files and environment variables with Dotenv.

Enhanced security

• Deny access to non-web files with server directives (with .htaccess files).
• Deny PHP scripts execution inside wp-content/uploads folder.
• Deny browsing the directory files list.
• Production & Staging environments have a restriction to update files from admin panel (only Media is allowed).
• Command-line scripts for generating wp-admin HTTP Authorization files.
