Pre-configured package to set up a WordPress website based on and build with composer. WPStarter is used to teach Composer WordPress.

Fetching the boilerplate via composer to a new directory (my-website):

$ composer create-project dnaber/wpstarter-boilerplate:dev-master my-website

You will get asked if you want to remove the existing git history. Answer with yes (Y) as you're about to start a new project.

That will give you the following directory structure:

[my-website]
 ├ public/
 | ├ wp/
 | ├ wp-content/
 | | ├ plugins/
 | | └ themes/
 | ├ index.php
 | └ wp-config.php
 ├ vendor/
 ├ .env.example
 ├ .gitignore
 ├ composer.json
 ├ composer.lock
 └ README.md

Web server configuration

Configure your web server to use the directory public/ as document root (web root).

Steps to take

• If using Apache web server, copy templates/.htaccess.example to public/.htaccess.
• Copy .env.example to .env and set the required database credentials and WP_HOME in the .env file.
