WordPress Kickstart

A starting point for managing a WordPress installation using Composer and Git.

• Installs WordPress into its own subdirectory.
• Uses WPackagist to manage plugins and themes.

Installation

To install:

1. Clone or download the repo.
2. Update required information in composer.json, including package name, description, authors and license.
3. Run following command to install packages: composer install
4. Copy public/wp-config-sample.php to public/wp-config.php and edit database connection details.
5. Set your host’s document root to the public directory.
6. Install WordPress in your browser.

By default, this will also install some plugins that are useful in website development. To skip the installation of these plugins, use the --no-dev option:

$ composer install --no-dev

Adding and removing plugins and themes

Simply make edits to the package list in composer.json and run the following command:

$ composer update
