README
After a standard WordPress installation, you have a setup that only has the most basic settings configured. There is a lot of settings you can tweak to improve security, performance and/or usability.
Here you can find an example project setup for common use cases.
The configuration can be used to install and update a WordPress site using
Composer. The setup already includes some useful
plugins. Change the composer.json file to fit your needs. Available plugins
for Composer can be found on WordPress Packagist. All
stable releases from wordpress.org should be
available.
A database must already be configured. The install procedure will not create a database for you.
To install WordPress, run:
composer create-project wee/wordpress-project --no-dev
To install WordPress with development plugins, run:
composer create-project wee/wordpress-project
If you did a git checkout, you can install WordPress with:
composer install --no-dev
To install WordPress with development plugins, run:
composer install
Composer will start to install and configure WordPress. It will ask for your database credentials and information for your site. After the install you should have a .env file that contains your database and WordPress settings.
To log into WordPress go to http://localhost/wp/wp-login.php (or the domain you defined).
After Composer has finished, WordPress will be available in the web folder.
You can change the path in composer.json. After the install you can remove
the src/web folder.
If you do not plan to update WordPress with Composer, you can remove the
composer.json and composer.lock files and src folder after the install.
See composer-full.json for a large selection of packages that could be useful.
If you intend to update WordPress with Composer only, add the following lines to the .env file.
This will disable auto-updates and updates from the WordPress admin.
WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE=0
WP_AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED=1
WP_DISALLOW_FILE_MODS=1
See .env-reference for available settings / examples.
To update WordPress, including plugins and themes, run:
composer update --no-dev
Or with development plugins:
composer update
You can also use WP-CLI to update WordPress:
vendor/bin/wp core update
vendor/bin/wp core update-db
vendor/bin/wp language core update
vendor/bin/wp plugin update --all
vendor/bin/wp language plugin update --all
vendor/bin/wp theme update --all
vendor/bin/wp language theme update --all
